Ai OPTIMISM
Josh lost a leg to childhood cancer. Today, he walks on high-tech carbon fiber crutches. Or sometimes on a robotic, computer-controlled prosthesis.
That’s right. AI controls his left leg.
Does this make him a cyborg? Basically.
Has he been sent from the future to assure us that AI isn't something to be feared, but is instead a tool we should be harnessing for good?
Well, no. But that would be cool.
Josh is the trailblazing guide who can lead your organization into a bright future. A future where technology makes us more human, not less. Where AI helps us reach our destinations. In Josh’s shoes, AI inspires confidence and optimism.
2. change is half full
Josh is tech positive. A tech optimist. (Technoptimist? Is that trademarked yet?). Maybe it's just his personality. Or maybe it’s because, since childhood, he has relied on technology like carbon fiber crutches and high-tech prosthetics to enable every aspect of his life. From walking downstairs for breakfast to climbing up mountains for the sunset. To Josh, technology represents not fear, but freedom.
3. transformation is Creative Fuel
Each Halloween, Josh undergoes creative transformations that surprise and delight millions. He’ll teach your organization his transformation formula so you can surprise and delight your own audience of customers and clients.
Josh's body doesn’t fit off-the-rack costumes. But he flips that constraint into creative fuel. The result? Unforgettable annual Halloween creations.
In the face of digital transformation, businesses often feel constrained by outdated systems or limited resources. Josh will show your team how to view constraints as opportunities for innovation. The result? You’ll stand out in a competitive, tech-driven landscape.

P.S. Change doesn’t mean throwing away everything that got us here. Just as many of Josh’s costumes call back pop-culture icons of the past, your organization can honor your organization’s history while embracing the future.

Case study: from idea to emmy
-
Josh joined forces with Apple to make Best Foot Forward, an Emmy winning sitcom inspired by his childhood. As Executive Producer, Josh helped oversee the rapid scale from idea to organization. After an infusion of an eight-figure production budget, he helped build a team of over two hundred cast and crew, all in a matter of weeks.
-
Best Foot Forward broke new ground in the entertainment industry by authentically representing disability on both sides of the camera—over 20% of the cast and crew identified as disabled, an unheard of figure for a major production. The series was recognized with numerous industry awards for demonstrating innovative inclusivity in a notoriously reluctant-to-evolve industry.
-
Growth is better than the alternative. But it’s still hard. A different kind of hard. Future-proof organizations harness technological change to prepare for rapid scaling. Josh proves your organization can grow in a manner that amplifies rather than compromises your core values. His leadership in a high-profile, fast-moving production—on behalf of one of the world’s most innovative tech companies—offers practical lessons for managing disruptive growth.
5. adaptive resilience
The looming revolution of AI and automation may feel daunting, but Josh will empower your organization to adapt to whatever’s around the corner. After all, as any experienced skier will tell you (fun fact, Josh is a Paralympian), the worst thing you can do when you hit an ice patch is to lean back in fear. If you do, you’ll lose your edge. And then fall. The only way to stay upright? Pushing into the front of your boot. In other words: lean forward.
