Season 8 Episode 11
Today, I sit down with Dr. Joshua McConkey, a physician and military officer whose career bridges medicine, service, and leadership. Dr. McConkey shares how years of medical practice combined with military duty gave him a unique perspective on trauma, healing, and responsibility. From patient care to leading within the armed forces, he explains how serving both in uniform and in the clinic shaped his outlook on resilience, mentorship, and faith. His story highlights the connection between professional excellence and personal integrity, reminding us that leadership begins with service.
In the second half of our conversation, Dr. McConkey introduces the concept of the “weight behind the spear.” He explains how the frontline—the tip of the spear—relies entirely on the foundation and support that stands behind it. Whether in combat, medicine, or everyday life, that unseen weight represents the families, communities, and leaders who provide strength and stability. We discuss how carrying that weight with humility and faith transforms the way we lead, mentor, and influence others.
