About

My name is Joshua. I’m an African-Norwegian multidisciplinary storyteller and nomad. Having lived in over 20 countries, I’ve developed a passion for unearthing the stories of the world and seek to understand how they shape cultures and people.

I’ve been a director for documentaries, short films, and TV episodes. A professional editor for both local and global reaching clients including Mindvalley, DJ ShoeBox Moses, and Indie Business Retreat. And I’ve spoken at various schools and events.

Traveling has been a big part of my life. When I traveled to Europe for the first time at the tender age of 10, my eyes opened to the wider world, its’ cultures, and its’ people. At the age of 12, my family and I became nomadic, traveling from country to country, city to city, town to town, living and experiencing places I’d only heard of and read about in books. Those early nomadic years deeply influenced my style, weaving together language, history, and fantasy in work that straddles the past and present.

Through this journey, exploring my life through different mental, physical and spiritual perspectives has really helped propel me into pursuing my passions in exciting ways. In 2019, I attended Mindvalley University, a personal growth event that was truly life-changing for me. I had the chance to meet some of the speakers inlcuding international bestselling author Panache Desai, motivational coach Lisa Nichols, and Mindvalley’s CEO Vishen Lakhiani. I connected with many fellow creatives and entrepenuaers young and old from around the world, all of whom were so self-aware and wanted to take the steps to make their dreams a reality.

Meeting so many like-minded people my age, and even younger, inspired me to create my Young Achievers Blog Series, where I dive into the stories behind the young achievers of the world. These people didn’t wait until they were older to start pursuing their passions and were committed to sharing their talents with others to make the world a better, more creative place. During my research, I discovered the origin stories of people like actor Tom Holland, tiemaker Moziah Bridges, drone designer George Matus, and activist Greta Thunberg. Eventually, after exploring all of these stories, I began work on a book titled Young Achievers, where I share the stories I’ve discovered, new ones I came across, and my own life experiences.

My hope is that my journey can inspire others to step out of their comfort zone and explore the world and their passion. To believe in a life dreamed of as a child. A life where anything is possible.
