57: Music, Mindset and Momentum with Saint Josh (An Artist's Road to Impact)

Born in Orlando and raised in Kissimmee, Joshua Young, known as Saint Josh, wrote his first rap at six years old and, by 11, set a bold goal to pursue music, inspired by artists like Eminem and Lil Wayne. Struggling with shyness, music became his outlet, helping him build confidence and develop his craft—first mastering lyrics, then flow, performance, and storytelling. As he grew, he realized that success in music required not just talent but business acumen, leading him to leverage freelancing platforms to create custom music for brands. Now a thriving artist and entrepreneur, he has collaborated with major brands like the NFL and Auburn University while staying true to his mission of using music to inspire, uplift, and create a lasting impact (and if you were wondering...he wrote and produced the current music for our show!).
