He made “I am just doing my job” sound so different, that now I am thinking of ways how to use it myself!
I like the way Joshua reframes the fear of sales. It is something many people have tried to say before. But somehow the way he shifted my mindset… that I won’t forget for a very long time. He made “I am just doing my job” sound so different, that now I am thinking of ways how to use it myself!

...I was mesmerized at how he could hold the audience’s attention so effectively.
I heard Joshua speak at an event and I was mesmerized at how he could hold the audience’s attention so effectively. Until today, I am aggressively working out my Level 4. I loved the way he used self-introduction as a very powerful weapon – if only someone told me this earlier!
