About

I’m Josh, dad of twins, bio-hacker and entrepreneur with over 11 years experience owning and operating high-growth businesses in the care and education sectors. I have a BA Hon’s degree in HR Management from the University of Leeds and more recently completed a Negotiation Mastery course with Harvard Business School online. 

I’ve been in a few pressurised business situations over the years; from start-ups to mergers & acquisitions, redundancies and business restructuring, through to successfully exiting to private equity. I understand the challenges of finding balance in your personal life, whilst striving towards a professional goal. 

I experienced burnout in my twenties whilst building our first business into a 300+ staff national operation and realised that the brain thrives on rhythm, not chaos. 

​Discovering yoga was a real lightbulb moment for me  - combining movement with breathwork enabled me to feel centred, calm, more present, and ultimately make better decisions. I also realised that building something meaningful shouldn’t come at the cost of living in a permanent state of health debt. ​

Along came our twin boys in 2021 and I discovered the Wim Hof Method - a powerful technique to reset your body and mind daily. I was fortunate enough to travel to Poland to practise breathwork and cold exposure with Wim and his team in December 2023. After that, I became fascinated by the physiological changes taking place in the body when you engage in breathwork, or go into the cold. 

​

Fast-forward to 2025 and I am now Chief Vision Officer at Althaus Digital, a tech-enabled education company I co-founded in 2019, and board trustee at MySmallHelp, a Nepal based charity. 

​

In my spare time I enjoy being outdoors, playing golf, 7-a-side football and doing a bit of hot/cold therapy in the sauna & ice bath. 

​

Last year, I qualified as an Advanced Oxygen Advantage Instructor, enabling me to teach simple breathing techniques to improve overall health & well-being - and I love it!​
