Josh is a motivational speaker, Author, Comedian, Paralympian and Halloween Enthusiast. I met him performing at a comedy club and could not be more impressed with his talent and his character. A wonderful human being, your sure to love this episode!

In this episode Josh and I talk about:

How he lost his leg at 10 years old
Being honest during your presentations
The challenges of speaking to younger audiences
Starting to do stand up
How people perceive him
Performing verses entertaining
Why we love comedy
Getting rid of the gimmicks
Why he refuses to use sides during his presentations
Feeling like he didn’t have a story to share
Having a gig cancelled after he started speaking
If you can speak to high school students, you can speak to anyone
Students don’t care about your accomplishments
When you take bad ideas on stage
Focusing on the things you can control
Michael W Smith’s greenroom
Keeping your presentations fresh
Worrying about things the audience doesn’t notice
…. and continuing to move forward.
