Having appeared on MTV and built a YouTube channel with over 100,000 subscribers and 10 million views, Josh has a proven ability to speak to teens in their language. He helps young people make empowered decisions in the face of personal challenges like negative social pressures, learning disabilities, domestic problems, and disadvantaged backgrounds. They will leave Josh’s program motivated to set higher goals for themselves as students and to become stronger leaders in their communities.

As a Paralympian, amputee, and cancer survivor, Josh has a life story that connects with teens in a personal way and helps them rethink their attitude towards life and its adversity. As a former stand up comic and a bestselling author, he has a sense of humor and a story telling ability that holds students in rapt attention from the moment he walks on stage until the final line of his speech. His programs are interactive, ultra-high energy, and packed full of life changing ideas and content.

Josh's first speeches were hospital fundraisers when he had cancer at age ten. He started speaking to teenagers in school assemblies at age sixteen. He was the second youngest person ever accepted as a professional member of the National Speakers Association, and his school assembly program for middle schools was featured on the front page of the USA TODAY Money section when he was eighteen.

Now age twenty-seven, Josh has dedicated his life to inspiring teens and learning how to connect with them from the stage. Regularly listed by industry insiders as one of the top youth speakers in the world, you simply will not find another speaker as young as Josh who already has nearly twenty years of platform experience.
