Joshua McBride is living proof that the most powerful voices are often forged in silence. Growing up, he was taught to stay quiet—even warned that speaking up could bring harm. That message took root, and for years he kept his thoughts to himself, choosing humor and lightheartedness as a way to be seen without truly being heard. But life had other plans.

After surviving three brain surgeries and enduring an assault that would have broken most, Joshua discovered that silence was no longer an option. He chose instead to step into his voice, becoming the driving force behind Texas Senate Bill 194, which reformed penalties for sexual assault in Texas. His fight, courage, and relentless advocacy are captured in the documentary Good From Bad, a film that shows not just what he endured, but how he transformed that pain into lasting change.

Joshua’s journey extends far beyond legislation. He has built businesses, launched media ventures, and created platforms that highlight authenticity, resilience, and truth. He believes that integrity is not just a virtue but a strategy—that when leaders and organizations create space for honesty and courage, real transformation takes place. His new initiatives, including Inside Detailing, the first Roku-exclusive network dedicated to the detailing culture, and Coating Integrity Labs, a pioneering certification company, reflect his constant drive to innovate, build, and make an impact.

On stage, Joshua brings a rare blend of raw honesty, wit, and passion. His keynote, Significant Purpose: Power is Born Where Silence Once Lived, challenges audiences to confront their fears, reject complacency, and reclaim their voice. He doesn’t just motivate—he disrupts, inspires, and empowers, leaving audiences with the courage to speak up, step out, and take action in their businesses, communities, and personal lives.

Joshua McBride isn’t just a speaker—he’s a movement. His life’s work is a testament to one undeniable truth: when you break the silence, you unleash the power to change everything.
