Combating NEGATIVE THOUGHTS, Redefining SUCCESS, & Rebuilding HOPE (Josh Knutti)

After working his way through and up to corporate America and reaching the perceived success level of managing a $580M labor line and over 22,000 employees across the US, Canada, & Puerto Rico. Josh Knutti says he was never satisfied. So he set out on his own to acquire a $10M corporation.

After working and negotiating to get the deal done for over a year it finally was revealed to him that the seller had used him to increase the price and sold the company 3 days later for cash. This sent Josh in a negative mental health spiral so bad that he ended up in a fleabag motel with Jack Daniel, cocaine, & a shotgun ready to end his life. Thankfully the gun literally malfunctioned and it did not go off. 

After he did A LOT of work virtually trying everything to regain his mental health & positive self-image it was at that point that he realized that one of the main reasons why he was in that motel was because of his thoughts and the way he viewed the world. It was at this time that he vowed to spend the rest of his time, money, and life to help as many people OverCome life's obstacles, the biggest one being themselves
