What Are Admire Talks?
Admire Talks is Joshua’s community-driven speaking series focused on mental health, self-worth, and purpose. These events create safe spaces for honest conversation, reflection, and healing through storytelling and shared experience.
These are not lectures — they are communal experiences designed to leave you seen and equipped with a practice to carry forward.
While Admire Talks represents the heart of Joshua’s mission, his speaking work also extends to organizations, schools, brands, nonprofits, and conferences nationwide.
