It’s OK to not be OK
Josh Wolf is a suicide survivor turned Kona Ironman and mental health advocate. He found purpose and hope through endurance sports, only to have that foundation shattered after a truck ran him over during a training ride. But throughout it all, the path forward both mentally and physically remains one more hour, one more day, one more step, one more pedal stroke.

Filmmaker, father, traveler, lifelong cyclist. Always looking for the next story and the next destination.
'It's OK to not be OK' is about the shared connection between sports and mental health, told through a suicide survivor turned Kona Ironman. As mental health and suicide prevention are slowly becoming more recognized, my hope is that this film further tears down stigmas and brings attention to the subject. This story resonated so much with me from the get-go, and it was really rewarding to produce a passion project that I hope will have a real impact.
