When you’re looking at the world from the lens of, ‘as a creator, what can I do to create a better future?’ The journey is endless. It’s not like this finite thing where I’m like, ‘I’m going to create this thing and I’m going to spend a ton of money on social media and then it’s going to grow to x and then y happens.’ It’s more like, ‘okay I have this vehicle—this brand and what are the different things that I can do to elevate the way that we coexist with our planet?’

Joshua sat down with Plastic Pollution Coalition (PPC) Vice President of Programs & Communications Jen Fela to discuss Joshua’s journey as an entrepreneur, from learning about growing vegetables from his grandfather as a child, to being inspired by nature, the ocean, and traveling as an adult—and how he aspires to use his business to create a better future that is more sustainable and in harmony with the planet.
Joshua recently joined our global webinar series for an episode focusing on the challenges and opportunities of making your business plastic free.
