Check out the latest interviews with Josh Shipp.
INTERNATIONAL TEEN EXPERT
Josh Shipp’s mission is to help teens “get it” and help those who care about teens get through to them.
He’s the host of TV Show JUMP SHIPP, author of “The Teen’s Guide to World Domination” (St. Martins Press), named a CNN Young Person Who Rocks and was named to Inc. Magazine’s 30 under 30 list.
Josh has established an international reputation as a teen communication expert who can get through to any teen. He’s spoken at Harvard University, Stanford, UCLA, M.I.T. and to 1.5 million teenagers live. Josh offers up a healthy dose of advice that he calls “in your face, but on your side.”
He counsels teenagers on everything they care about and it’s all done in a youth-friendly, humorous tone that is more hilarious survival guide than preachy sermon.
Josh certainly knows a thing or two about survival. Abandoned and abused as a child, he was able to triumph over the tragedy. He attributes his personal growth to the support of a great foster family, dynamic teachers and enriching school programs that opened his eyes to his true potential. After serving as State DECA President and on the School-to-Work student advisory committee, Josh decided to commit his life to helping teens.
“I’ve found that sometimes the very thing that has hurt you the most, is the very thing you can use to help others. You can’t change the past — so why not focus on building an incredible future?” – Josh Shipp
Josh lives in sunny California, is a spokesperson for National Foster Care Month, and a guitar hero.
