#74: Marketer & Coach: Joshua Harris: "The Full Spectrum of Color"

This week on the pod I'm talking creativity, leaving Christianity, and marketing with Joshua Harris. 

Josh has a very interesting story, regardless of your views of Christianity.  He was 21 when he published "I Kissed Dating Goodbye", a book that exploded and became a literal "Tipping Point" in Christian culture.    Fast forward 20+ years - Josh has self unpublished all of his books, left Pastoring and Christianity, and now runs a marketing agency and coaches.    What happened in those 20 years and what was it like for him to wrestle his own creations?

Josh's books filtered down to me and had a pretty major effect on me then, in ways that I'm still sorting out now.  We get into that a bit in our convo, at least in the ways that it overlaps with creativity.

I really admire Josh's commitment to authenticity and being true to his convictions.  The ways that his journey has affected his creativity and I love how he has dissected not only "his why", but how the culture he grew up in influenced his work.
