Startup Island: Josh Gershon

Georgie-Ann Getton

In this episode, we have Josh Gershon. Back in 2015, while at a difficult crossroads in his career, Josh was faced with the same question many young twenty-somethings have, “what do I want to do with my life?” He gave himself two options — one was to travel the globe and focus on his personal, mental and spiritual development; the other was to sign up for various classes and workshops that would help him make a career jump. Feeling forced to choose between developing himself or his career, but having no way to combine the two, he came up with an idea. That idea has since changed the life of many other twenty-something entrepreneurs. Tune in to hear about what his idea was and the impact he has had in these short years.

About Josh

Josh Gershon is an entrepreneur, speaker, mentor, and the co-founder of Startup Island.

Back in 2015, while at a difficult crossroads in his career, Josh was faced with the same question many young twenty somethings have, “what do I want to do with my life?”

He gave himself two options — one was to travel the globe and focus on his personal, mental and spiritual development; the other was to sign up for various classes and workshops that would help him make a career jump. Feeling forced to choose between developing himself or his career, but having no way to combine the two, he came up with an idea.

He founded Startup Island, a personal and professional development program designed to connect and inspire entrepreneurial-minded young people, through meaningful travel experiences.

It has become Josh’s life work to help others realize that when they seem to be at a fork in the road, they too, can carve a new path.

Startup Island has created transformative experiences for hundreds of young entrepreneurs from all over the world, and Josh has spoken and lead workshops at universities and conferences throughout the U.S., Central America and the Caribbean.
