JOSH LLEWELLYN-JONES OBE
Born with cystic fibrosis, Josh was given a 10% chance of surviving his first night. Doctors then said he wouldn’t see 30. Now 37, Josh has broken those odds, becoming a World Record Holder, Speaker and MENtor for men (and women) ready to transform their lives.
At 29, Josh took on the World’s Fittest Man Challenge, joining an elite group of only five people in the world to complete it. The very next year, on September 29, 2018, he set a world record, lifting a staggering 1,000,000kg in under 24 hours - shattering the previous record by over 500,000kg. All to raise money & awareness for cystic fibrosis.
Josh is a straight talking MENtor for those who are tired of excuses and ready to take control of their lives.
Armed with an unbreakable mindset forged through overcoming life’s toughest challenges, Josh knows what it takes to push past limits and build a life of purpose.
