EP74: Carrying What Others Don't See - What Happens When You Refuse to Look Away

Drawing from his work documenting protests in Portland, reporting in conflict environments, and responding directly to human need through community action, Josh shares what most people never see:

• the difference between events on the ground and how they are portrayed

• ethical reporting and the responsibility of truth-telling

• the emotional impact of witnessing suffering over time

• protest, conflict, and the psychology of escalation

• food insecurity, systems failure, and humanitarian response

• burnout, compassion fatigue, and staying human in volatile environments

• masculinity, emotional responsibility, and relating to pain

• the line between documentation and exploitation

• how to care deeply without losing yourself

This is not a political conversation.

It is a human one.
