Today's episode is one of the most honest, vulnerable, and powerful conversations we've had in quite a bit. I'm sitting down with my friend Joshua Church, who co-founded Edge Theory Labs, and built it from a garage prototype into a $20 million brand in under three years, only to make the incredibly hard decision to shut it all down. What came next cracked him wide open in the best, hardest, and most human way.
In this episode, we discuss:
- Joshua’s story, the rise & fall of Edge Theory Labs, and what ultimately led to its shut down
- What it's like to fail publicly and how it changed Joshua’s perception of failure
- How Josh faced some of his worst fears, including getting internet hate, as well as the most powerful tools and practices that got him through it
- The experiences that brought him into deeper faith, emotional presence, and a whole new level of leadership
- Divine vs. toxic masculinity, from the male perspective
- How Josh is helping founders become the leader that their business actually needs
