Joshua Rodriguez is a motivational speaker across multiple digital platforms including YouTube, Snapchat, and Instagram. He has built a mass following of middle school and high school teens looking for advice in different areas of their life: self-worth, relationships, academics, and family. His videos and content have been featured in prominent marketing publications and also been used in many different schools across the country. Josh has also been a guest speaker at many schools across the east coast, where he teaches the values of compassion, mindfulness, and confidence. Josh was born and raised in Brooklyn, New York and has worked in education technology, “ed-tech,” since college, communicating with teachers, principals, and students. Josh’s teaching approach is inspired by Fred Rogers, who taught children that feelings are mentionable and manageable, and Thich Nhat Hanh, who speaks about being in the here and now by cultivating peace in every step.
