Welcome back to the Top Contractor School Podcast, where contractors come to grow stronger, scale smarter, and build businesses that last. In this episode, Eric Guy sits down with Josh Kosnick — founder of Kyros Coaching & Consulting, certified EOS implementer, and best-selling author of The Kyros Code. Josh shares his powerful story of adversity, identity, faith, and rebuilding purpose after losing the career he spent nearly two decades building. What emerged from that season is a framework that's helping leaders all over the country create alignment, elevate performance, and build lives that actually work.

🔥 Inside this episode:

✅ How losing a thriving financial firm overnight forced Josh to redefine identity

✅ The painful leadership lesson of keeping the wrong person in the wrong seat

✅ Why your identity can't be tied to what you do — and what happens when it is

✅ The Five Bridges Framework: spiritual, internal, relational, professional & legacy

✅ Why most leaders skip straight to business… and suffer for it

✅ How entrepreneurs can rebuild their lives and companies from the inside out

✅ The mindset shift every contractor must make to exit the field and actually lead

✅ A practical rule for delegation: letting go once someone hits 60% of your ability

✅ How to schedule your "want-to's" before your "have-to's"

✅ Why legacy isn't what you leave behind — but what you leave in people

✅ The LQ (Life Quotient) Assessment — and how it reveals your gaps in minutes Josh's message is direct, honest, and deeply needed in the contracting world: You are not what you do — and you are enough. Leadership starts at home, within yourself, and with the people you love most. If you're a contractor striving for growth while wanting a healthier, more aligned life, this episode will challenge you, encourage you, and give you the framework to lead with clarity and purpose.
