      Representation: Represented globally by PSpeakers Global Intelligence

      Josh Sundquist is a globally recognised motivational speaker, bestselling author, Paralympic ski racer, and comedian whose extraordinary journey from childhood cancer survivor to elite athlete and media executive has inspired millions. Diagnosed with Ewing’s sarcoma at age nine and given a fifty per cent chance of survival, Josh faced the amputation of his left leg. Undeterred by this profound adversity, he embraced a philosophy of relentless resilience, eventually representing the United States at the 2006 Winter Paralympics in Turin, Italy. Today, he leverages his unique blend of humour, vulnerability, and strategic foresight to empower global organisations to navigate uncertainty, reframe setbacks, and cultivate high-performance cultures.

      Beyond his athletic achievements, Josh has established himself as a prominent voice in contemporary literature and media. He is the author of critically acclaimed and bestselling books, including Just Don’t Fall, We Should Hang Out Sometime, and Semi-Famous. His proprietary narrative frameworks have transcended the written word, culminating in his role as an Executive Producer and writer for the Apple TV+ series Best Foot Forward, which adapts his childhood experiences for a global audience. Furthermore, his digital presence is formidable, reaching millions across social media platforms where his viral, custom-designed Halloween costumes celebrate neurodiversity and body positivity, challenging societal perceptions of disability on a global scale.
