Josh Misner, PhD

PhD in Leadership, ex-academia rebel, and author of Put the F**king Phone Down: Life Can’t Wait. I’ve created corporate transformations for Verizon, taught deadbeats and future leaders at universities, and I've spent years of my life seeking to dismantle corporate bullshit, one blunt truth at a time. Leadership shouldn’t require a manual. It should demand honesty, trust, respect, and a desire to never settle for good enough. When I’m not being a disruptivore, I enjoy repurposing garbage into high art, looking for trouble, or making the world laugh, one googly eye at a time. My kids are smarter than me. My wife occasionally french-braids my bright red hair. And I carry knives (and sometimes bolt cutter) because life's short and I'm prepared. My work ain't for everyone. But it is for those who want real talk about leadership, communication, and living life at full throttle. Expect teeth, sharp edges, and a bit of kickback, but never any fluff.
