JOSEPH HUNT

Joseph is a young entrepreneur who is passionate about encouraging others and helping them rise up to their full potential. He currently does that through his health and life coaching business, Rise Life Academy, which he started this last year.

Joseph grew up in a small town and lived a pretty modest life in the country but as long as he can remember he never let his small beginnings keep him from dreaming big and doing something meaningful for the world. His entrepreneurial spirit goes back to when he was 15 years old when he started his first business as a window washer. By the time he was 18 he got involved with a marketing company where he learned the art of sales and persistence and eventually ran his own branch office of direct sales representatives at the age of 20.

He then moved on to run a manufacturing company with his brother at the age of 21 where he was the chief of sales and was able to bring his families products into reputable chain stores like Market of Choice and Fred Meyers. This leads to where Joseph will be telling his story of facing his biggest battle yet, when his worldly sources of fulfillment and purpose were wiped away from him and how he became immersed in a place of brokenness, confusion, and depression.

Come and hear a story of redemption and how Joseph’s greatest trial led him to his greatest victory, which is a relationship with God and how he learned to live by faith and was slowly brought out of that darkness into a life of victory where he now pursues his purpose and passion of helping others rise up to their full potential and into a life of true fulfillment.

The Downtown Luncheon will take place on Wednesday August 23rd at 11:45 am. We will be meeting at a new location in the month of August.
