From Rock Bottom to Legacy

Josh “The Reckenrod” Eckenrod is a U.S. Navy veteran, author, and founder of Iron Horizons, a movement dedicated to helping people rebuild their lives through mindset, purpose, community, and entrepreneurship.

After years of struggle, loss, and self-destruction, Josh found himself at rock bottom; the moment that would become his greatest turning point. Piece by piece, he rebuilt his mindset, faith, and direction, realizing that rock bottom isn’t the end, it’s the foundation of who you’re meant to become.

What started as a personal mission to rise again has grown into a global vision. Josh’s mission is simple but powerful: teach others how to rebuild their lives from the inside out. Through personal growth courses, speaking engagements, and community mentorship, he helps people rediscover identity, restore discipline, and reignite belief in themselves.

Josh also founded Reckenrod Apparel, a mission-driven clothing line that funds Iron Horizons programs and
veteran aid initiatives. Every design represents resilience, humor, and hope. Because rebuilding doesn’t have to be silent or solemn; it can be proud, loud, and united.

Today, Josh speaks, writes, and teaches across the country. Proving that purpose is born through perseverance and that every scar can forge strength.
