In this episode, we sit down with Joshua Lustig, a 27-year-old entrepreneur who built an insurance company from scratch and achieved a multiple eight-figure exit by his mid-20s. From humble beginnings on a farm in Idaho to leading a $50M+ valuation company, Josh shares the mindset shifts, sacrifices, and lessons that fueled his meteoric rise. He opens up about marriage at 19, betting it all on imperfect action, and what it really takes to scale a business—and your life—beyond limits. If you want a masterclass on vision, grit, and creating generational wealth, don’t miss this conversation.
