Alex Donnolo and Joshua T Osborne’s Stories of Resilience and Redemption
Manage episode 513371586 series 2761795
In this special two-part episode of The Burn Podcast, Ben Newman revisits two raw, unfiltered conversations that prove champions aren’t built in comfort. Alex Donnolo shares how a wrongful conviction, solitary confinement, and the loss of his best friend became the spark for relentless growth—fueling an eight-figure real estate portfolio, a redeemed name, and a mission to turn darkness into light. Joshua T. Osborne opens up about trailer-park beginnings, adoption, prison, and the moment he chose to stop learning how to be a “better criminal” and become a better human—stacking books, skills, and standards until pain turned into power.
If YOU’VE ever felt defined by a past you didn’t choose—or mistakes YOU did—this episode is YOUR blueprint to fight forward. We dig into reframing trauma into fuel, raising YOUR risk tolerance through disciplined action, and the four levers Josh uses to change a life: awareness, accountability, tracking, and massive imperfect action. From surviving to serving, from fear to faith, these stories will push YOU to live by YOUR STANDARD, use the pain on purpose, and keep showing up—especially on the days YOU don’t feel like it. 🔥
