The Highs, Lows, and Lonely Roads
A Summit Session with Robbie Goldsmith and Josh Ellis
In this raw and real conversation, with two 4x founders Robbie Goldsmith, CEO of Silverbelly Whiskey, and Josh Ellis, founder & CEO of WithCo Cocktails, Hang on Health founder Tina Stoyka will explore the deep impact of unspoken stress, suppressed emotions, and internal pressure on both relationships and personal well-being.
They’ll share how constantly chasing the next milestone can leave founders feeling disconnected—from themselves and the people closest to them. Through hard-won insights and honest storytelling, Robbie and Josh reflect on the power of slowing down, finding community, and learning to regulate instead of medicate. From men’s therapy groups to wilderness wellness retreats and faith, they’ll unpack what it really means to do the inner work while building something big. Come for the business stories—stay for the healing.
If you’ve ever looked successful on the outside while silently falling apart inside, this one’s for you.

About Josh Ellis
Born and raised in Nashville, Joshua is the co-founder of WithCo (with company) Cocktails, a fresh-ingredient cocktail mixer company. As an entrepreneur for the past 20 years, he's navigated the emotional highs and lows of building businesses, which led to a deep exploration of mental health and the science behind how our brains, bodies, and nervous systems respond to stress. Alongside running a growing company, Joshua is a dedicated advocate for integrating practices like breath work, meditation, and fitness to support sustainable growth and taking care of ourselves from the inside out. Joshua believes that entrepreneurship doesn’t have to come at the cost of your well-being—and that success is richer when it’s rooted in self-awareness, presence, and the practice of well-being. Through honest storytelling and science-backed tools, Josh encourages others that, though entrepreneurship can feel like a lonely journey, it doesn't mean you're alone.
