Hi, I’m Joshua Hale - Small Business Advocate & Modern Homesteader
Welcome to a journey of self-reliance, intertwining entrepreneurial success with a deep commitment to my family and community. As an advocate for small business owners and a guide in embracing holistic living, I am here to share my story and help you carve your path to a fulfilling life.
I understand your challenges, because I’ve been there myself.
My Story (it might be your story, too!)
Surprising beginnings
It all started with something simple yet incredibly powerful: custom affirmation tracks. You see, back when I was a DJ for clubs and festivals, I struggled with destructive habits like drug addiction. But these tracks became my lifeline, helping me break free from that life and start my transformation.
As time passed, I found myself yearning for a different life. I wanted to be closer to nature, start a family, and have more independence. So, I boldly decided to leave behind the restless city life and completely shift my lifestyle and values. I wanted to align myself with what mattered most to me: family and community, and become more independent.
Although my first year in business was fraught with marketing missteps, it turned out to be a valuable learning experience. This led me to pivot towards helping entrepreneurs market their own businesses effectively.
Effective communication and searching for a tribe
Soon after, I discovered the concept of Nonviolent Communication (NVC). Recognizing its immense value in self-connection, navigating interpersonal relationships, and conflict resolution, I began leading study groups. Eventually, I connected with a local NVC trainer who became my mentor. Together, we organized both online and in-person events to spread the benefits of NVC.
I yearned for community, to connect with others who resonated with my own dreams of self-reliance and intentional living. NVC helped me articulate these desires while gaining the communication skills that close-knit community groups need to be successful.
In addition to my need for improved communication tools, my educational experiences have been equally transformative. They have not only shaped my expertise but also my personal growth and worldview.
Excellence Northwest
At Excellence Northwest, an organization dedicated to creating authentic connections through innovative workshops, I completed multiple courses. My involvement extended beyond learning, as I actively participated in their sales team and event production. This experience honed my skills in teamwork, leadership, and effective communication.
Kalapa
With Kalapa, a curriculum focused on empowerment and positive change, I immersed myself in a pathway that accelerated my impact. Working as part of their production team for live events, I gained invaluable insights into event management and personal empowerment.
Sacred Sons
The journey with Sacred Sons, a movement steering men towards their hearts and purpose, was profound. The four-day EMX (Embodied Masculine Experience) immersion was a pivotal moment, offering a rare blend of honest masculinity and brotherhood. It wasn't just about being physically challenged (like getting punched in the face), but more about emotional and spiritual growth.
AlterCall
Alter Call's four-day intensive workshop was a catalyst in my self-development and entrepreneurial journey. It helped crystalize my purpose, develop my brand, and provided access to mentors who have significantly influenced my path.
Hypnotherapy Training
Becoming a certified scientific hypnotherapist added another dimension to my skill set. This training enables me to offer subconscious support, helping others to achieve their best selves.
Bio Spiritual Development
As a spiritual seeker, my journey began with the complexities of human existence. This path led me to Vipassana meditation, which opened the door to deeper understanding. From there, I delved into Theoretical Cosmology (Structured Bubble Universe concept) and activated Neurogenesis through Bio-Spiritual Development. This involves fostering biological healing and well-being through holistic spiritual practices. The Tan-Tri-Ahura Teachings Path of Bio-spiritual Artistry has been instrumental in my self-healing, spiritual growth, and gaining insights into the nature of eternal life.
Leveraging it all to empower others
Overcoming obstacles and gaining these skills are what put me on the path to owning a Marketing Agency in January 2020, where I leveraged my technology expertise in various roles, including leading several of my clients to their first million dollars!
Focusing on ethical marketing strategies, I helped bring in hundreds of amazing clients specializing in helping others break free from mainstream society— community building, mutual aid, alternative education, and more.
Not only did I get to help them succeed, I also got to gain immense wisdom from them!
Living my mission
I take a stand
I'm here to spark change
To fix what's wrong
To raise up those left behind
Because I stand for justice
In all I do, I am the spark that
ignites a journey of self discovery
And the relentless persuit of excellence
With unwavering conviction
I strive to empower the
Architects of tomorrow
The entrepreneurs, the dreamers, the doers
With human ingenuity & cooperation
we will thrive not just survive to
Build a future independent of the reset
Empowering others to do the same is my life’s work.
Helping dozens of clients create courses provided me with insights and lessons that would have taken me years to learn on my own. One of the biggest learning experiences I gained was in how to create and manage Mutual Aid Groups. I’ve been leading my own local mutual aid group for two years and it just keeps getting better. Together, we have plans for emergencies, share food and resources, purchase a freeze dryer together, and have formed some of the closest bonds I’ve had in some time.
Leading a Mutual Aid Group and crafting solutions for today's challenges is part of my journey, one that took me from battling addiction to embracing rural living. Combined with my professional triumphs, this has shaped me into who I am today: an empowering, down-to-earth, and practical voice offering unique expertise across various domains.
Now I am involved in building an intentional community nearby where my daughter is attending a nature school and she can learn these valuable skills too!
