Josh Kinder: Learning to Hold Things Loosely Through Change and Uncertainty

What if success wasn’t about choosing one path but learning to grow through change and uncertainty? In this episode of More Than a Score, Josh Kinder joins us to share how change, uncertainty, curiosity and courage have shaped his life - from moving schools and chasing surf breaks, to building a career that’s evolved from carpentry to leadership in construction and tech. Josh opens up about the lessons that came from detours and setbacks, and how a simple mindset — “act as if” — helped him step into confidence, possibility, and growth at every stage. His story reminds us that education doesn’t stop at graduation, and that every chapter, even the uncertain ones, helps us discover who we are becoming. This conversation is perfect for parents supporting young people through transitions, students figuring out what’s next, or anyone rethinking what success means. It’s grounded, honest, and full of reminders that success or real growth rarely happens in straight lines. In This Episode You'll Learn: • How to embrace uncertainty and change with confidence. • Why it’s okay (and often right) to shift direction. • The power of “acting as if” when stepping into something new. • What real growth looks like beyond results or roles. • How parents can model calm, curiosity, and courage during transitions.
