Additionally, Josh is the owner of Bae Drip clothing line. Josh prides himself in his ability to identify promising business ventures and mentor the staff he builds.
The strict closures created by the 2019 pandemic were the opportunities he used to put his ideas down on paper. His ultimate goal for his newly published book, Pandemic Paradise, is to help people remain productive and proactive in times of trouble. His online book is the precursor to the Pandemic Paradise audiobook, which is currently being reformatted for audio consumption. Josh's book hopes to encourage readers to use the chaos surrounding them as a tool for growth and innovation. By influencing readers to move upward and onward in times of turmoil, he hopes they too can inspire the struggling people around them to do better and build higher in times of mayhem.
