Most startup problems are leadership problems.
82% of startups fail due to team and leadership issues. Not product or marketing.You can’t build a category-defining business while stuck in the weeds. And yet most founders are never trained to lead. They manage by instinct, get stretched thin, become the bottleneck in their own business, and often now feel trapped by the very thing that was supposed to set them free.
That’s where I come in.
I work with founders and exec teams who want to become better leaders, build strong teams, and create systems that actually work. Whether you’re making your first key hires, turning early employees into managers, or leading through a tough season, it's time to level up with vision, confidence, and a plan you can trust.

Joshua Church co-founded Edge Theory Labs and scaled it from garage prototype to $20M brand in under 3 years—earning partnerships with NFL and NBA teams, a Forbes 30 Under 30 nod, and a Shark Tank pitch.
Then came the collapse.
That chapter taught him what books and business school don’t: how to lead through chaos, coach up struggling team members, and stay aligned when everything's on the line.
Today, Joshua distills those hard-won lessons into frameworks and experiences that help founders become the leaders their business and mission truly need.
Joshua’s keynote was a game-changer. The energy shift in the room was undeniable. His blend of mindset, energy alignment, and embodied leadership left a lasting impact. Many called it the highlight of the entire event. If you want to elevate the way your leaders operate, Joshua is the guy to call.
Bringing Joshua into our business was a game-changer—not just for me as CEO, but for our entire leadership team. His energy, enthusiasm, and innovative problem-solving transformed challenges we had been struggling with for years. The results speak for themselves: with Joshua’s guidance, we more than doubled our revenue while creating a culture of momentum and alignment. His impact was invaluable, and we had a blast throughout the process!
Joshua is at the top of the game. We gave him very open and broad direction for our team retreat so he could come in and guide us as he sought fit. It was an amazing bonding experience individually and for our team as a whole. Joshua’s humble demeanor but powerful leadership helped us feel comfortable and confident. We’re excited to work with Joshua again in the near future!

In 2024, he led a meditation & breathwork session at our annual wellness event, which was so well received that we invited him back for 2025. His experience, ability to engage the audience, and commitment to exceeding expectations are unmatched. I highly recommend him to any organization looking to elevate their team’s performance.
Joshua is an elite level performance coach. Unlike many others in his field, Joshua took a wholistic approach to our work together. He encouraged and guided me to develop a balanced development plan that incorporated focus on all areas of my life: professional, physical, mental and spiritual. By fully embracing this approach my business didn’t just improve… my whole life did! Josh’s guidance put me in the driver seat of my life and gave me to tools to grow to the next level!
