#10 Confessions a of Male Stripper (with Josh Hardy)

About this episode

Today, I chat with depressed Heavy Diesel Mechanic and Male Stripper turned Agency Owner, Gym owner and Holistic Lifestyle Coach, Josh Hardy. Josh lived a life making decisions ruled by fear of not being enough, and self pity from not meeting high standards. He quit his job to pursue his passion in health & fitness, hand built his gym from scratch and is still on a huge journey of personal growth to become a better human, role model and leader. Josh and I recently connected again at a men's group after 15 years of lost contact. We used to play soccer together when we were kids. Josh offers a fascinating peek behind the curtin into the stripping industry, from the hen's nights and dance shows to the pressure to perform to the insecurities. Key Points:  - Josh's beginnings in Stripping  - Reconciling Stripping with a day job  - Being open, honest and sure of yourself  - Fitting in in male dominated spaces  - Fantasy and the popularity of Strippers  - The emphasising of physical appearance  - Insecurities in the industry  - Performance anxiety  Relevant Links:  Josh's Instagram - @thejoshuahardy  Josh's Instagram - @smacademyaus  Josh's Website - www.smacademy.com.au
