Chiseled Ep 45 Discovering Why

Chiseled with Rob Commodari

Josh Forster has a pretty good life. Married with three kids, he has been in real estate for more than 18 years. He owns his own company and lives in beautiful Ft. Collins, Colorado.
Josh has always been a champion of the underdog, but it wasn't until 2012 that he and his wife discovered their purpose in life. Sitting at a fundraising dinner for a Christian organization that helps stop human trafficking of children from Southeast Asia, Josh said he felt sheltered and shocked by what he heard. Hundreds of thousands of children are sold to or kidnapped by traffickers each year. The age of the average child who is trafficked for labor, sex, or organ harvesting is between 7 and 9 years old.
"You go home and you look at your little two and a half year old sleeping in bed and it's that personification of just how sick of an issue it is," he said.
Josh and his wife committed to supporting the organization in any way they could. So he tied his mission to his business and made it a motivating factor for almost everything he does. Through the "one home, one child" initiative, with every home he sells, Josh has donated the necessary funds to rescue one child.
So far, he has donated more than $200,000 to the nonprofit Life of the Innocent, where he is now a board member, and he has funded the rescue of more than 130 children. He has also set out to help others discover their purpose with his book, "Discovering Why."
