Welcome! I’m Josh C. Jones — author, filmmaker, speaker, teacher, and lifelong explorer of purpose and perspective. If you’re wondering what I do, well… it depends on the day (and how much coffee I’ve had).
I’ve worn a lot of hats over the years — actor, media contractor, podcaster, even part-time philosopher (if caffeine counts as a credential). But while titles are helpful, I believe they’re more like costumes than true identity. What really defines us are our choices, our convictions, and how we live them out.
My journey? It’s been an eclectic one. If it were a book, it would probably have multiple genres, a few plot twists, and more than a few puns. But through every chapter, one thing has remained constant: I’m passionate about helping others discover truth, find life, embrace growth, reach their success, and step into the life they were meant to live.
Why I Write
I write to challenge, encourage, and awaken the reader’s inner drive. Whether it’s personal development, social reflection, or a philosophical deep dive, my goal is to spark curiosity, ignite conversation, and motivate action. Life is too short for passivity. You have a destiny — and it’s yours to shape.
Books by Josh C. Jones (so far)
Destiny: Life or Death, Choose Your Destiny
My debut book — and still one of my favorites. Called “a potential motivational classic” and likened to Think and Grow Rich by my first publisher, this book sets the tone for everything I’ve written since. The Second Edition includes 15 bonus pages and a powerful foreword by New York Times bestselling author Jim Stovall.
The second edition: Destiny: Rich or Poor, Life or Death, Choose Your Destiny
A motivational guide to building a life of character and purpose. It teaches that your destiny isn’t fixed — it’s formed through your thoughts, words, actions, habits, and character.
Entrepreneur: Road Map for Success — Five Characteristics of the Successful and Respected
Part personal development, part business mindset manual. This book reframes entrepreneurship as a lifestyle, not just a career. It's about leading your life with integrity, vision, and intentional action.
Making Sense of America’s Newest Guild… Again
A first-person journey into the complexities of the MAGA movement — not to provoke, but to understand. This social and political reflection invites readers to think critically, listen deeply, and engage in dialogue, not division.
America: Then and Now (Award-Winning Poem)
A poetic reflection on how far America has drifted from its founding values. It’s less about the awards and more about asking important, sometimes uncomfortable questions about truth, history, and moral direction.
AMERICA: If You Can Keep It (Coming Soon)
Part warning, part history lesson, part call to action — this book urges readers to recognize the slow erosion of American values from within. Through rich metaphor and thoughtful analysis, it calls us all to be protectors of liberty.
The Mission Behind the Message
My mission is simple (and maybe a little ambitious): to inspire you to laugh more, think more critically, live with intention, and boldly step into your purpose. Whether you’re navigating uncertainty, seeking meaning, or chasing growth, I’m here to offer tools, perspective, and the occasional dad joke to keep you moving forward.
Through books, blogs, podcasts (From My Standpoint), and speaking engagements, I hope to spark honest reflection, rebuild broken perspectives, and remind readers that real success starts from within.
So grab a book, sip your favorite drink, and let’s explore this journey of truth, purpose, understanding, and transformation — together.
Let’s change the perspective for a better understanding.
