Bio

Hi, I'm Josh! I help entrepreneurs develop their personal brands and create thought leadership systems. I'm a WSJ and USA Today best-selling author who generated over $10M for my businesses through my books and by writing articles for publications like Forbes, Fortune, Time, Inc., Mashable, TechCrunch, and Entrepreneur. I've spoken at TEDx and other events around the world, appeared on national TV and radio, been on 100+ podcasts, and made it onto who's who lists in top-tier business magazines. I want to help entrepreneurs do what I've done, and get the results I've gotten. To help others, I created a tool called The 7 Systems of Influence. This framework will help you clarify your vision, discover your genius zone, identify your ideal audience, and create content that will move your audience to take the action(s) that will make your vision reality. The businesses I've started to serve entrepreneurs and others sit under a holding company called Pando Partners, and they include: MWI - The marketing agency I founded in 1999, now primarily focused on performance marketing but also SEO, web design/development, and content development. Canvas PR - Flat fee, guaranteed PR placements in publications like Forbes, Inc., and Entrepreneur. Published Author - Making it easy for entrepreneurs to write, publish, and leverage a business book to grow their business. Also, I do one-on-one book coaching. BlueMethod - My LinkedIn agency, where we help entrepreneurs and executives implement what they learned in my bestselling book 60 Days to LinkedIn Mastery. AuthorVoice - A podcast management agency for business book authors. A little more about me: I'm a husband, father, skater, Dinosaur Jr. fan, political news junkie, ultra trail runner, triathlete, adoptive parent and active advocate for adoption, aspiring academic researcher, and member of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. Originally from LA, I lived in Utah from '98-'13, then moved to Hong Kong, and then to Shenzhen, China in 2016. In Jan, 2019, I moved to Boston, where my family and I lived on a farm with 21 horses, 3 guinea pigs, and 1 dog, before moving to Arizona in 2021, without the horses. 😥 I would LOVE to connect with everyone, but LinkedIn maxes out accounts at 30K. Sorry, it's not you, it's me! (actually, let's blame it on LinkedIn). But please click that ''Follow'' button above so we can stay in touch. Thanks!
