Josh Shipp Named Among America’s Coolest Young Entrepreneurs

We recently spoke with Josh about his background and the inspiration behind his new show, “Jump Shipp.”

 

24_Hey-Josh-BKTJosh Shipp is the host of “Jump Shipp,” author of The Teen’s Guide to World Domination (St. Martins Press), named a CNN Young Person Who Rocks and was listed on INC. Magazine’s 30 under 30 list.

Josh has established an international reputation as a teen communication expert. He’s spoken at Harvard University, Stanford, UCLA, M.I.T. and to over 1.5 million teenagers live. He is a recognized teen expert for such media outlets as MTV, CNN, and FOX. 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.

 

EP 1- Andrea Napierkowski is a 23-year-old twin who has never made a decision for herself. Literally. With Shipp’s help, Napierkowski meets with a counselor to discuss the ideas of co-dependency, a professional in the field of her career interests and a personal life coach. With expert advice in hand, Napierkowski faces her “jump,” taking the first steps living her own life.
