Episode 482: Josh Kosnick of Five Bridges Farm - Madison, WI [PART 2]. GOD’s REDEMPTION + RENEWAL + REGENERATION. 1st the Spiritual Bridge. One Nation Under GOD. The Kairos Code. BRIDGE BUILDER LIVE.

In this special Fourth of July episode of the JUSTIN AND THE [FOOD] ENTREPRENEURS Show, host Justin Bizzarro sits down with author and entrepreneur Josh Kosnick for a powerful conversation about hitting rock bottom and finding redemption and the true purpose in our calling as one nation under GOD. This isn't just a story about business; it's a raw and honest account of losing a massive financial empire and rebuilding a life of true, eternal impact.

Josh shares the incredible story behind his new book, "The Kairos Code: Discover Your Purpose, Tap into High Performance, and Become a Leader of Eternal Impact." He recounts the pivotal moment that changed everything: after being terminated from the financial asset management firm he grew, that was managing $4 Billion in financial assets, he was faced with boxes of his belongings—trophies, accolades, and awards. He realized with gut-wrenching clarity that in his darkest hour, these symbols of worldly success offered zero comfort. The only thing that mattered was his faith and his family.

This epiphany became the foundation for his Five Bridges concept, a transformative framework for living a truly fulfilled life, which he unpacks in detail:

1. The Spiritual Bridge: Putting God and purpose first, before all else.

2. The Internal Bridge: The necessity of working on yourself—mentally, physically, and emotionally—not as a selfish act, but as a prerequisite to serving others effectively.

3. The Relationship Bridge: The choice to prioritize the people who matter most, understanding that deep connections, not accolades, are the true fruit of life.

4. The Environment Bridge: Aligning your professional and financial life with your unique, God-given gifts to find joy and meaning in your work.

5. The Legacy Bridge: Redefining legacy not as what you leave behind, but what you build every single day through your interactions and the impact you have on others.

Josh also gives listeners a behind-the-scenes look at the monumental effort and mission behind his upcoming book launch and live event at his Five Bridges Farm. He's bringing in world-class speakers, not for a typical "pitchfest," but for an immersive experience designed to genuinely change lives, even at a significant financial cost to himself.

This episode is a profound reminder that true independence isn't found in financial success or public acclaim, but in the freedom that comes from building your life on a foundation of faith, family, and purpose. Celebrate the spirit of the 4th of July with a story that will challenge you, inspire you, and guide you toward discovering your own eternal impact.
