About Dr. Josh McConkey
Dr. Josh McConkey is a board-certified emergency physician, Air Force Reserve Colonel, and national leader in disaster response, crisis medicine, and community resilience. His leadership experience spans frontline emergency departments, combat medical operations in the Middle East, and interagency coordination with top national security organizations. After losing more than $5 million to a corrupt business partner's embezzlement, Dr. McConkey faced an immense personal and professional setback. But instead of stepping back, he continued serving others and rebuilding. In an extraordinary turn of fate, he later won the lottery—and chose to use his second chance not for extravagance, but to lift others. He founded The Weight Behind the Spear Foundation, dedicated to restoring resilience, leadership, and mental strength in America’s youth and communities. His book, Be the Weight Behind the Spear, has been recognized for its impact and is being adopted in leadership, education, and service training programs nationwide.
