Meet Josh Kosnick - provider, recruiter, teacher and
leader. He is the Type-A alpha male that loves to compete, drink
bourbon and smoke cigars; however, Josh never shies away from
sharing his vulnerable side. He’s passionate about men’s mental
health – healing, talking about emotions, supporting each other –
and will continue to advocate for this. His faith drives him to
persevere through pain and suffering because he knows, on the other
side of those struggles is everything he has dreamed of and
everything he was born to be.
Josh Kosnick shares how he prioritizes his schedule like a college
athlete to lead a well-rounded life through fitness, relationships,
mind, and soul. He discusses implementing EOS to scale his firm and
how vulnerability is the ultimate display of strength for men. Josh
also tells the story of dropping out of college and becoming a
financial advisor after getting a call from his future mentor while
working at Best Buy. He shares information about his new mastermind
focused on breaking down walls between advisors and creating
collaboration in the industry.
“You just hit on exactly why I always tried to recruit as many
college athletes as possible, or former college athletes, because
they had to prioritize their days so much more than the regular
student“- Josh Kosnick
