I was asked by Josh to be involved with him in his ventures, which at first seemed sincere and opportunistic. Several people closer to him brought to my attention gross exaggerations he was making about his background/success. I decided it wasn't worth risking my reputation even as he gained great attention with, to be fair, very good speeches. However, I question the veracity of much of what he states as his accomplishments, then and now, which is shame because he otherwise could have had a greater impact..Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8780876072481932881.post-34896766284201998852013-01-28T19:29:24.934-05:002013-01-28T19:29:24.934-05:00I'm a professional speaker in the education/yo...I'm a professional speaker in the education/youth market. I know Josh Shipp very well. His "expert" status has bothered several of my colleagues and myself for years. He is NOT an expert, and it's been very distressing the amount of notoriety he has gained by self promotion/media positioning. What Josh is, is a wonderful 45 minute speaker. He's hysterically funny and has a good message. However, he is a professional speaker...that is all.<br />Thank you so much for helping to create awareness for this, and for exposing some of his "credentials." I have been a speaker in this market for over 20 years. I want the integrity of this profession to remain high. When people abuse and take advantage of their 45 minutes of success, it hurts all of us.<br />Again, thank you.<br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8780876072481932881.post-46735668361056097912013-01-25T18:43:50.963-05:002013-01-25T18:43:50.963-05:00AWESOME!AWESOME!Kellyhttp://teentroublejoshshipp.comnoreply@blogger.com
