JOSH GALT
Named one of Gear Junkie’s Top 110 Outdoor Ambassadors of the Past 110 Years, Josh is an extreme whitewater athlete, entrepreneur, and world traveler (70+ countries) with 2 decades of global speaking experience - helping audiences boldly flow through chaos with clarity, purpose, and positive action.
The world is in the midst of a turbulent transformation, and navigating it demands more than resilience, it requires the ability to find the right line through the chaos.
With over two decades of extreme river exploration under his belt, Josh Galt has faced some of the planet’s most epic whitewater rapids, honing skills not just for survival, but for thriving in the most unpredictable conditions.
His journeys across continents, cultures, and social landscapes have given him a rare perspective - how to see over the horizon and stay grounded when everyone else is losing their footing... or their way.
Whether you’re seeking a keynote that leaves lasting impact, a thought-provoking panelist unafraid to challenge groupthink, or a master of ceremonies who brings depth and energy, Josh delivers a unique blend of adventure, insight, and inspiration that elevates every event.
Raised without electricity or running water as the child of missionaries, Josh has boots-on-the-ground experience in 70+ countries, bringing a global, lived-in perspective to every stage he steps on.
Disillusioned with religion in his early 20s, he set off on a worldwide journey—exploring the philosophical and spiritual systems of the world while navigating pristine rivers as an elite whitewater athlete.
Named by Gear Junkie as one of the most iconic outdoor ambassadors of the past century, Josh is also deeply passionate about health and longevity. He’s spent years experimenting with cutting-edge nutrition -including a three-year stint consuming more insect protein than likely anyone else on the planet- and now co-leads the Hive Fermentation™ movement. He’s also undergone life-altering plant medicine experiences in the jungles of Latin America and Southeast Asia.
His stories of overcoming adversity, pushing through pain, and embracing the ethos of “pointing positive” will inspire and empower your audience to rise above the noise and navigate toward clarity, connection, and meaningful action.
Josh also speaks Spanish and has delivered presentations to investors, government officials, and students across Latin America - including podcast interviews and featured talks on entomophagy at UNAM in Mexico City.
He’s a proud father of three and recently welcomed a new baby with his wife, an equally eloquent and globally savvy partner who often joins him on stage to deliver unforgettable presentations.
