Episode 273 - From Phone Cases to Bullet Proof Vests with Josh Richardson

Faith Driven Entrepreneur

 Who protects the people who are meant to protect us?

First responders daily risk their lives for the sake of others and the people who put on those uniforms need others who will help keep them safe as they go about their jobs.

That's why Josh Richardson started Angel Armor with his brother JC. The two discovered something that many of us just don't think about. Like any product in the modern world, Protective gear needs to adapt to what customers want.

The industry needs innovation and fresh ideas so that these frontline workers can do their jobs safely. And that's what angel armor is all about. Using their innovative and entrepreneurial mindsets to create products that protect the protectors.

As you'll hear in this episode, the two brothers grew up in an entrepreneurial home. Their parents started a different kind of protective equipment company: the brand Otterbox, which has become known to smartphone users around the world for their waterproof cases.

Josh joins us today to talk about his rollercoaster journey from growing up in a home that barely made it by to seeing the growth and success of his parents' company. He'll talk about how his own success with OtterBox took him down a dark path away from his faith and how the relentless pursuit of Jesus called him back. And he'll share what all these experiences have taught him about running his business today.
