Abuse and abandonment in child hood leads many people to drink, drugs and even suicide. It is rare that something positive comes from such torment but Josh Shipp (A.K.A. Hey Josh) has done just that.

Hey Josh has taken America by storm as an eccentric youth speaker with a very strong message. He is dedicated to helping teenagers and young adults by giving them advice and providing some guidance they might not otherwise have. His positive yet raw outlook on life is very useful to millions of teenagers worldwide. They visit his site www.heyjosh.com on a regular basis in search of advice and entertainment.

His natural ability to captivate an audience quickly and efficiently sets Hey Josh apart from the rest. Many youth workers are accused of being unaware and out of touch these days. This couldn’t be further from the truth when describing Hey Josh, he gets stuck in and projects the feeling that he’s very much “on your side”.

His firm but fair approach added with his witty and sometimes sporadic comedic value has proved a great combination for TV. Josh has appeared on MTV’s TRL, Comedy Central, NBC, FOX, TLC, and in the LA TIMES. He’s also written books and continues to help teenagers with general adolescent worries to serious deep rooted problems.

Hey Josh is a rarity in today’s world, more positive people like him could provide stronger idealistic characters for today’s youth to aspire to. In turn this would produce a happier nation of adolescents and help them to prosper in adulthood. Let the positive message be heard by all.
