For the past 12 years, Josh has been channeling his passion for the outer limits of the learning process toward training elite mental performers in business and finance, and to revolutionizing the education system through his nonprofit foundation, The Art of Learning Project. Josh is currently in the process of taking on his fourth and fifth disciplines, paddle surfing and foiling, and is an all-in father and husband. The audio and video were recorded at the Sohn Conference in David Geffen Hall at Lincoln Center for the Performing Arts, New York City. The Sohn Conference is dedicated to supporting innovative initiatives to cure and treat pediatric cancer. The Sohn Conference Foundation raises its funds through a unique strategy: Wall Street's most successful investors to offer their expertise on stage, and inspire large audiences to give to The Foundation's cause.
