Welcome. I'm Kevin Miller. This is a podcast for your personal evolution. In this episode,

changing your identity and getting comfortable in your own skin. I have grown to revere people

who have made a significant transformation to their identity.

And we like to celebrate people who have made huge accomplishments out in the world.

But people who actually transformed who and how they are are my heroes at this point.

Now, my guest today has, admittedly, some big worldly accomplishments, but I invited him on to the podcast because of his personal transformation.

So Josh Peck, you may well know him.

He's an actor, a comedian, a YouTuber, social media star, and he rose to fame in a lead role in the Nickelodeon sitcom, Drake and Josh, back from 2004 to 2007.

Now, more recently, he starred in the Disney Plus series, Turner and Hooch. And I actually saw him just a few weeks ago in an episode of HBO's original series, The Last of Us.

But his story comes from a troubled home.

Josh became fat.

He was the fat kid.

And to offload the teasing, he turned to being funny.

Well, from that, he ended up in showbiz.

And his run on the Drake and Josh show as a childhood actor was literally with him

as the funny fat kid. Well, the show got canceled. He turned to drugs and alcohol. He lost all of his

fat weight and just didn't know who the heck he was. Well, he finally wrote about it and a book titled

Happy People Are Annoying. Well, he finally wrote about it and a book titled, Happy People Are

Annoying. You're about to hear about Josh's journey firsthand. You can find Josh anywhere

you type in Josh Peck, of course. When we initially talked here, he had about 13.3 million

followers on Instagram, and I saw that he now has almost 17 million.

So join me as Josh and I talk about his journey of a real transformation of his very identity.
