Josh Richards, Australia
Josh Richards has lived many lives — physicist, soldier, commando, comedian, cave diver, writer, and Mars One finalist. Behind all that, he carries an equally powerful story about trauma, resilience, and the drive to keep exploring. In this episode, Josh shares how his path wound from military service to stand-up comedy, and ultimately to a seat at the table in humanity’s future beyond Earth.
140 million miles away never felt closer.
