🧠 Episode Recap

JOSHWAY: Building a Future Where Vision Meets Action

JOSHWAY began as a personal mission after founder David Robertson lost his brother Joshua to “modern day challenges.” What started as a response to grief has become a movement grounded in digital literacy, financial education, public speaking, and youth mentorship.

“Joshua was the response to a loss,” David says, “but what was lost became something beautiful.”

Tech-Driven, Vision-Focused

JOSHWAY’s programming is uniquely collaborative—partnering with nonprofits and schools to bring modern tools and leadership development to young people. From Toastmasters-style public speaking to Apple-powered media literacy, JOSHWAY isn’t just meeting kids where they are—it’s helping them lead.

They’re not reinventing the wheel—they’re upgrading it. “We’re not just starting new programs,” says Glenn. “We’re transforming existing ones for the 21st century.”

Digital Skills Meet Real-World Impact

Through partnerships with Apple and others, students are learning how to use Keynote to build presentations, GarageBand to create podcasts, and financial literacy tools to better understand money. And the team’s entrepreneurial spirit shines: “We’re scrappy. We’re flexible. We move fast,” David adds.

Community First, Always

JOSHWAY’s new headquarters on Northampton Street is just the beginning. The team is now running inbound and outbound workshops and collaborating with organizations like El Sistema and Century Promise to scale impact.

They’re calling for others—especially those aged 35 to 45—to join the movement. “If you’re not ready to start your own thing,” David says, “take a board seat. Get involved.”

What’s Next?

JOSHWAY is working on expanding into school curricula, launching youth Toastmasters programs, and publishing Joshua and the Power of Resilience, a forthcoming book co-authored by Glenn.

The message is clear: This is just the beginning. And they’re building a blueprint for a new kind of youth empowerment—visionary, modern, and deeply rooted in community.
