About josh
It is not and never has been about me… it’s about those I lead!
A BIT ABOUT ME
I’m Josh Kosnick – provider, recruiter, teacher, and leader
I’m the Type-A alpha male that loves to compete, drink bourbon and smoke cigars; however, I never shy away from sharing my vulnerable side. I’m passionate about men’s mental health – healing, talking about emotions, supporting each other – and will continue to advocate for this. My faith drives me to persevere through pain and suffering because I know, on the other side of those struggles is everything I’ve dreamed of and everything I was born to be.
I’m here to inspire you to build the bridge you need in order to cross over your own struggles and achieve the legacy you envision for yourself, fulfill your purpose, and become the leader you need to be, all while feeling joy & satisfaction throughout your journey of growth. Life is about more than money, business, and materialistic things. It’s about the generosity of spirit, authenticity, and becoming the best version of yourself.
Leaders aren’t born, they’re made. And they’re made through fire, through the hard times. I’ve started from nothing, overcome adversity to build my legacy, and never took the easy way out. I value hard work and perseverance because I know what it takes to bootstrap your way to success, to go through hell and back to become the man I am today. It’s not easy and certainly not for the faint of heart.
I’ve always gravitated towards leadership roles – as a team captain in sports, as an entrepreneur and recruiter throughout my career, as a father to my 4 children, and as a coach and mentor. I knew I was meant to be a leader when I recruited someone that was better than me. It was no longer about being competitive with those I recruited, but about feeling the pride & joy from seeing them excel. Leaders that don’t invest in their people, Leaders that think profit first, Leaders that cheapen the experience. Those aren’t TRUE leaders. It is not and never has been about me… it’s about those I lead!

JOSH KOSNICK’S UNIQUE PERSONALITY TRAITS AND BELIEFS
It’s about the generosity of spirit, authenticity, and becoming the best version of yourself.
FAMILY MAN
Josh has always yearned to provide for his family. Watching his father work his way up from a lower-class lifestyle to creating an unlimited income, inspired him to strive for even more in order to carry on his family’s legacy. He believes that it’s possible to find success and still remain family-oriented – and he is a great example of how this is possible. Quality time with his family is a non-negotiable and being a father is his most favorite & important job in the world.
ALPHA VULNERABILITY
This duality of Josh’s personality is what makes him such a unique leader. While it’s true that the Alpha Male is typically seen as being strong, confident, and courageous leaders – and Josh certainly has these characteristics – it’s equally important for a male leader to show vulnerability. This can be seen through his ability to be approachable, kind, and a great listener.
FAITH-DRIVEN
Josh is a faith-driven individual but his faith isn’t limited to only his religious beliefs, although that is something he speaks on openly. His faith is all-encompassing – faith in himself, faith in his family, faith in his team and those that are close to him. Faith in something is crucial to personal development and growth. Being a faith-based leader that is approachable and open-minded is part of what has helped Josh find success in leadership.
SPORTS & FITNESS
Sports & fitness is where Josh’s leadership journey began. Not one to excel in school, Josh used his energy and abilities to become a high-achiever in sports. This is where he began honing his leadership skills, building a desire for personal growth, and finding a passion for athletics. Sports, fitness, nutrition, and working out have made a dramatic influence in Josh’s life and is something he is extremely passionate about.
