Every day, I meet leaders exhausted from responding to near-constant disruption and competition while fighting to deliver consistent results. Like you, they are looking to Find A Way to…

thrive (not just survive) through uncertainty and volatility.

drive growth, relevance, and innovation without losing big on risky bets.

topple challenges of all sizes, from pesky annoyances to existential threats.

create high-performing cultures that fuel engagement and success.

Billion-dollar moonshots aren't the answer. Neither are hustle and grit, which only lead to burnout.

There's a better way.

Hi, I'm Josh.

At age 13, I played my first gig in a smoky Detroit jazz club. I've been improvising, stumbling, learning, and creating ever since.

Since then, I’ve gone on to start, build and sell five tech companies, become a New York Times bestselling author, create over 10,000 jobs, help launch over 100 startups, create over $1 billion of investor returns, and spread the message of everyday innovation to over two million people.

These accomplishments directly result from a surprisingly simple system I developed, a framework that can also help you win at the highest levels. And it doesn't require a Navy SEAL's mental toughness or a prizefighter's grit.

Instead, we can use ingenuity—a superpower each one of us already has—to find solutions to any problem or opportunity.

Agility, not brute force.

Creativity, not hustle.

Improvisation, not perfect planning.

Using my simple, accessible approach, I help everyday people innovate in their everyday work, tackling tough challenges and seizing transformational opportunities without the typical burnout or risk.

Today, I’m on a mission to help leaders and teams Find A Way to the outcomes they crave: growth, innovation, competitive advantage, deeper engagement, and predictable results.

Seed
Awaken the artist within.

Embracing the Find A Way™ methodology, leaders reignite the spark of creativity within their teams. It's akin to nurturing a seed - where teams unlock a latent yet powerful potential, empowering them to embody the essence of everyday innovators. By fostering this environment, leaders facilitate a transformation where innovative thinking and action become as natural and habitual as breathing.

Practice
Expand capacity & speed.

Through the lens of deliberate practice, teams progressively enhance their creative abilities, seamlessly integrating these newfound skills into their daily workflow. As time passes and repetition ensues, creativity morphs into an intrinsic strength, applied with meticulous precision to accelerate the achievement of superior outcomes.

Action
Execute with confidence & competence.

As leaders and their teams master the art of employing the Find A Way™ approach in their daily endeavors, undeterred by limitations, they begin to consistently conceive, develop, and implement groundbreaking ideas. This process fosters a resurgence of confidence and competence, hallmark traits of innovative teams.

Rise
Strengthen & sustain momentum.

As the organization confronts disruption and competitive threats, leaders and team members step up with a blend of inventive thinking and creative problem-solving, turning potential pitfalls into victories. This shift in mindset transforms the organizational culture from one paralyzed by 'what-ifs' to one that is agile, future-focused, and equipped to navigate challenges and capitalize on emerging opportunities.

Kindle
Lead & amplify impact.

As success spreads from one team to the next, the practice of everyday innovation evolves into an organization-wide movement. Each individual contributes to elevated success; leaders reach unprecedented levels of impact and influence. This evolving culture, deeply rooted in the Find A Way principles, consistently navigates disruptions and changes, achieving success after success through a blend of collaboration, creativity, and resilience.
