What happens when you reach the dream everyone else is chasing…only to realize it still leaves you empty? In this episode of Upside Down Influencer, Jessica sits down with former NFL player and Super Bowl Champion, Josh Wells to talk about his journey from small-town football to the big stage of the National Football League. Josh shares the highs of making it to the top, but also the surprising emptiness that came with money, “success”, and influence.
Together, we unpack:
- The illusion social media creates about success, wealth, and influence
- The moment Josh realized that even the NFL couldn’t satisfy the deepest longings of his soul
- His personal struggles with social media
- How faith in Jesus redefined his identity and purpose both on and off the field
- The challenges of leaving professional football and finding purpose beyond a career
- How he now uses his platform to encourage others to pursue Christ over cultural “success”
If you’ve ever believed the lie that life will finally feel complete once you “make it,” Josh’s story is a powerful reminder that there’s nothing at the top, apart from Jesus.
