In this episode of Courageous Crossroads, host Jeff sits down with entrepreneur Josh Roberts to trace the unlikely path from a farm in rural Louisiana and a childhood of constant moving to building (and rebuilding) multiple businesses in Pennsylvania, including a land services company that scaled rapidly during the Marcellus boom and later ventures in pipeline inspection and talent solutions. Josh shares how what once looked like courage on the outside (risk-taking, nonstop work, big bets) eventually gave way to a deeper definition rooted in surrender and
vulnerability after a 2018 collapse, when a major customer’s bankruptcy triggered financial freefall and forced him to confront who he’d become at home. He recounts a pivotal moment of dropping to his knees and turning his life over to God, the steady support of his wife Lauren, and the practices that now keep him grounded, including off-grid solo retreats marked by prayer, journaling, and fasting. Joshua Roberts is a Pittsburgh-based business owner and founder who
has generated significant revenue across multiple companies, including USA Field Services and USA Talent Solutions, and co-owns My Salon Suite locations with Lauren; shaped by early entrepreneurship at the University of Missouri, an international MBA experience spanning London, Shanghai, and Dubai, and years living on the road, Josh now focuses on building with purpose, faith-forward leadership, and long-term impact.
