#005 - Joshua Church - He Built a $20M Company By Partnering With the Universe

If you have yet to subscribe to the show, please do so now!

Joshua Church is a Forbes 30 Under 30 founder, author and podcast host who built Edge Theory Labs into a $20 million company in three years — and then watched it fall apart. But this conversation is not about the rise and fall. It is about what the whole journey revealed about the universe, the self, and what it actually means to follow the path you were put here to walk.

Joshua weaves together entrepreneurship, spirituality, Jewish faith, breathwork and a lifelong relationship with his own physical body to arrive at something rare — a man who has genuinely learned how to follow the breadcrumbs.

In this episode:

• What it means to build a profitable partnership with the universe
• Why your job on this earth is smaller than you think
• How four major surgeries and a near death experience at 19 led Joshua to his life's work
• The rise and fall of Edge Theory Labs and what the collapse really taught him
• Why business is the greatest self development course you can enroll in
• How to weave spirituality into a business when not everyone sees the world the same way
• The danger of missing your own life while you are busy building something

• How he wants to be remembered
