Josh Steimle

WSJ & USA Today bestselling author. Book coach, speaker, multi-entrepreneur. I'm here to maximize human potential.

I love starting businesses but I'm not good at running them, so I find partners who love running and growing businesses but don't love the risk of starting them. This allowed me to create Pando Partners, a holding company where I can do what I truly love, which is to start businesses, see them succeed, and see individuals learn and grow within those businesses as they maximize their potential. Right now, my primary project is MWI, the marketing agency I started in 1999. I recently bought out my partners there after 10 years and find myself back in the driver seat. However, there are a lot of other projects up and running or in early stages.

If you're interested in partnering with me, I am currently looking for partners in the following spaces:

- Self storage
- Public relations
- Marketing
- Book coaching
- Web and app development
- Design
- Streetwear/fashion
- Retail/online retail
- Education

I'm a husband, father, skater, Dinosaur Jr. fan, political news junkie, ultra trail runner, triathlete, adoptive parent and active advocate for adoption, aspiring academic researcher, and member of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints.

Originally from LA, I lived in Utah from '98-'13, then moved to Hong Kong, and then to Shenzhen, China in 2016. In Jan, 2019, I moved to Boston, where my family and I lived on a farm with 21 horses, 3 guinea pigs, and 1 dog, before moving to Arizona in 2021, without the horses. 😥

I would LOVE to connect with everyone, but LinkedIn maxes out accounts at 30K. Sorry, it's not you, it's me (actually, let's blame it on LinkedIn). But please click that "Follow" button above so we can stay in touch!

Founder

I believe most people in the world are good and if I can help people become more influential, they'll use that influence to make the world a better place. That's the "why" that led me to create 7 Systems, a publishing, training, and events company that helps clients increase their influence using The 7 Systems of Influence framework.

The 7 Systems framework is used by executives, entrepreneurs, educators, marketing and PR professionals, parents, and government leaders to zero in on their objectives, identify their ideal audience, and create compelling content that moves their audience to action.

Most marketing agency account managers have never done the work themselves. At MWI, we're hiring the kind that has.

This position is open to U.S.-based candidates only. 

The role is dedicated to a single client, a psychiatric hospital group with over a dozen locations. Each location is a separate client, with a separate contact, but they all do the same things. 

This matters: You've done actual digital marketing work. SEO, paid search, web development, social, something hands-on. You know what the work requires because you've done it. 

Must have: We don't wait for clients to ask us for things. The right AM builds a plan, drives it forward, and makes the client feel like everything is always in motion. If your default is to wait for direction, this is not the right fit.

Nice to have: Experience in healthcare, psychiatric, or related space. Account management for multi-location clients. Marketing agency background.

What you will do: Serve as the primary client contact. Manage projects and timelines across SEO, PPC, dev, and social teams. Own reporting, QA, and client communication. Build plans with the client and execute them.

Working at MWI: Remote (work from home). 4-day work week, Mon-Thu. 10 days paid vacation, plus all the normal holidays, plus Dec 24-Jan 01. We work hard but we're also super flexible. 401K matching. Health/vision/dental. Small team where everyone pulls their weight and gets along well together. International exposure (we have an office in Hong Kong). Salary competitive, based on experience/fit.

If this sounds like you, or someone you know, send me a message.

Agency founder. Marketing for multi-location businesses (storage, hospitals, hotels, gyms, etc.). Maximizing human potential via entrepreneurship. WSJ + USA Today bestselling author. Trail runner. Skater. Husband. Dad.

Jason Alba and I have been talking about business books lately, recording conversations for his new HR platform, and he keeps asking the same question: how do you help your team actually implement what these books teach?

Every time he asks, I try to come up with something clever. I always land on the same answer. Just talk to them.

We spend enormous time on employee manuals, training programs, and presentations when a 15-minute conversation might accomplish more. And we'd probably learn as much as we'd teach.

This morning I got a newsletter from 📈Ben Ward about being passionate about your team members' goals, not your own. I realized I had only a vague idea of what most of my team members actually want. So I sent each of them a quick, individualized email asking about their goals. About a minute apiece to write.
Worst case, nothing changes but they know I care. Best case, what I learn shifts how I run things.

Some questions worth sitting with:

- How well do I actually know my team members? 
- What are their goals, and do they align with where we're headed? 
- How motivated are they to achieve what we're working toward?

Only you can find the answers to those. But "how beneficial would it be to know?" and "how do I find out?" are easy: very, and just ask them.

I'm sending out my own newsletter later today about AI, vibe coding, and how Jason built his HR platform with it, as well as other projects I and others have built. Signup link is in my bio.

Idea → Working App → Live on Phone
All in 5 minutes.

I didn’t know mobile dev.
I didn’t hire anyone.
I didn’t touch Xcode or APIs.

Here’s what I did:

1️⃣ Open Replit.
2️⃣ Type one sentence: “Build me a project tracker app with reminders and dashboards.”
3️⃣ Scan the QR code. App works on my phone.

3 clicks later → App Store ready.

No backend headaches.
No auth nightmares.
No wasted months.

The lesson: you don’t need to know everything to ship.
You just need to start.

Cancel your AI subscriptions.

I know that sounds dramatic. But I actually did it after 2 years of paying for almost every AI tool out there.

I was opening ChatGPT for writing, research, and summaries.
Gemini for images.
Kling for videos.
Another tool for vibe-coding apps.
Another one for presentations.

Nothing was wrong with the tools. The problem was fragmentation.

Then I moved everything into ChatLLM by Abacus hi AI. - 

One place for all major AI models
GPT-5.2, Claude 4.6, Gemini 3 Pro, Grok 4.1 Fast, DeepSeek, LLaMA, same workspace, same context.


Images and videos without switching products
Nano Banana Pro, FLUX, Seedream, Ideogram for images.
Sora, VEO, Kling, Runway, Luma, Grok Imagine for videos.


Full-stack apps, websites, and SaaS from prompts
Type an idea and see it live. Layout, colors, copy, and logic all editable.


Presentations that don’t feel empty
Simple inputs turn into structured decks with research, charts, and flow.


An assistant who keeps working in the background
Tasks, searches, and workflows progress even when I’m not active.


PDFs become interactive
Upload documents, ask questions, and extract notes instead of reading line by line.


AI text that sounds human
Generate, humanize, choose a tone, and use it as-is.


Real-time web research
Answers come with sources, visuals, and context.


Deep Agent for real outputs
Apps, reports, dashboards, workflows, micro-SaaS.


A code editor that actually supports building
Write, run, debug, and improve without chaos.
At some point, it stopped feeling like using tools.
It felt like working inside one system.

That’s why I cancelled everything else.  Try it now, it’s only $10 a month - http://chatllm.abacus.ai

I thought people were exaggerating when they said “AI agents change everything.”

Then I watched one quietly build an app from scratch.

In a few minutes, it had the frontend, backend, database, and logic in place.
Nothing fancy on the surface - it just… worked.

This is Abacus AI Deep Agent 
An AI agent that handles execution the way a small engineering team would.

👉 http://deepagent.abacus.ai

Here’s what really stood out:

➡️ FULL-STACK APPS FROM ONE PROMPT
UI, backend, databases, and forms created together in one flow.
And now mobile apps too. Describe what you want, and Deep Agent builds a full app you can publish.

➡️ LAUNCH AN ONLINE STARTUP IN MINUTES

➡️ COMPLEX SOFTWARE & SAAS USING SIMPLE TEXT

Deep Agent figures out the structure and builds it.

CRMs, internal tools, Notion-style systems, HR software built for real usage.

➡️ MICRO-SAAS IDEAS THAT FEEL POSSIBLE
Resume tools, niche utilities, and lead magnets ideas that used to feel heavy now feel worth trying.

➡️ APPS & GAMES GENERATED QUICKLY
Sudoku, Minecraft-style games, Conway’s Game of Life, and interactive tools - ready to use as soon as they’re created.

➡️ BUILD YOUR OWN CHATGPT-STYLE APPS
Founder assistants, workout planners, diet tools, research helpers, domain-specific AI tools.

➡️ REPORTS, DECKS & PRESENTATIONS
Charts, visuals, and structured insights put together in minutes.

➡️ SPREADSHEETS → INTERACTIVE DASHBOARDS
Upload Excel or CSV files and get metrics, explanations, and visuals automatically.

➡️ IMAGE & VIDEO GENERATION BUILT IN
Work with text, PDFs, images, videos, and code in the same place.

➡️ TURN RESEARCH PAPERS INTO AUDIO
Deep Agent turns long papers into audio conversations you can actually listen to.

➡️ DEEP AGENT BROWSER EXTENSION
Describe a workflow, and it executes each step automatically with no manual setup.

For founders, this changes how fast ideas can be tested.
For teams, it changes how work gets distributed.

Worth keeping an eye on.

A pattern I’ve noticed in high performers:

They never stop being students.

No matter their title.
No matter how busy their schedule is.

Because they understand one thing:

The world rewards people who keep upgrading.

Not the ones who stay comfortable.

Today, learning a new skill doesn’t require a classroom.
It just requires the decision to start.

And sometimes the right opportunity makes that decision easier.

For the Holi season, Coursera Plus Annual is available at ₹7,499 instead of ₹13,999 (till 9th March).

With one subscription you get access to:

➡️ 10,000+ programs
➡️ Courses from leading universities
➡️ Practical skills in AI, business, technology, leadership and more

Think about it.

One new skill can change how you work.

Two can change how you earn.
A few more can completely change your career path.

Holi is about bringing new colours into life.

Maybe this year, one of those colours could be learning something that moves you forward. 🎨

Keep growing. Keep learning. 🚀

I think we’re underestimating what AI agents can actually do.

I watched Abacus AI Deep Agent take a simple prompt and build a full working app in minutes.

Not slides. Not concepts.
An actual product with frontend, backend, database, and logic already connected.

That’s when it clicked for me.

Most smartphone brands promise everything… and then hide behind pages of fine print.

POCO isn’t playing that game.

With the X8 Pro Series, they’ve taken a fearless stance: All Power. No BS.

To prove it, they launched the Fastest BS Service,
India’s fastest rapper, Gaush, speed-raps competitors’ disclaimers so fast, you can’t even understand them.

It’s clever. It’s bold. It’s uncomfortable… because it’s true.

This isn’t just marketing. It’s category disruption. It’s a statement that authenticity and courage in branding get noticed.

If your product is strong enough, why dilute it? POCO just showed how you dominate with honesty, and a little swagger.

All Power. No BS. 

That’s how you challenge the status quo

I'm not from Mumbai. I was just there for two days for a client meeting.

And yet,  I'm writing a LinkedIn post about a bus I saw there. That should tell you everything.

A Protean Wrapped across a bus in the most confident, colourful branding I've seen in a while.

I had to look it up. PAN services, KYC solutions. eSigning solutions. Fintech APIs. & Other digital backbone.

I've been a user of these services forever. I never knew who built the rails I was running on.

That's the power of Out-of-Home done right it doesn't just reach your eyes. It reaches your curiosity.

One bus. One moment. One Google search. Now I'm writing a post about it.

Motivation is rarely the real problem in fitness.


The drive to the gym.
Crowded floors.
Waiting for your turn on machines.

By the time the workout begins…
Most of the energy is already gone.

This is why consistency breaks for so many people.

Not because they don’t want to train.
Because fitness doesn’t always fit into real life.

That’s where Portl Ultragym shifts the model.

A full workout setup that lives inside your space.

No travel time.
No queues for equipment.
No need to dedicate an entire room to fitness.

Just a compact, thoughtfully designed system that blends into modern homes while still delivering serious workouts.

Because the easier it is to start…

The easier it is to stay consistent.

And consistency is what actually builds results.

"Isko Hara Re!" - Today it’s not just a line. It’s the nation’s collective mood.

OTTplay’s latest IND vs ZIM print ads tap perfectly into the do or die T20 World Cup moment. Running across both HT and Hindustan, the idea captures one unified fan emotion while speaking to audiences in their own language. The entire nation wants this to happen!

The genius also lies in the wordplay. “Isko Hara Re!” cleverly echoes Harare, the capital of Zimbabwe, and the Hindi ad smartly anchors that context so the pun lands instantly with readers.

What stands out is how both creatives carry their own charm. One feels bold and high energy, the other feels rooted and culturally sharp. Same thought, two distinct flavours.

Smart timing. Smart writing. Smart cultural connect.

Catch the action and get 30+ OTTs in 1 App at OTTplay.

I was flipping through a magazine today when a full-page ad stopped me.

“The best camera we’ve ever made.”

At first glance, I thought: Okay, another serious camera brand pushing its gear. The styling, the setup, everything screamed professional photography. I was ready to move on… until I opened the French window.

And that’s when the twist hit.

The camera… slipped into a pocket. And the line read: “It’s also a smartphone.”

In that moment, it all clicked. Xiaomi isn’t just building smartphones anymore they’re building professional camera experiences that happen to live in your pocket. Leica co-engineered imaging, 200MP continuous optical zoom, Photography Kit Pro all the tools a photographer dreams of, yet all inside a device you carry every day.

It’s simple, but brilliant. A print ad that surprises, delights, and tells a story in just two moments. One glance and you see a camera. Open it, and you see the future of smartphone photography.

This is how storytelling in print still works. Smart. Unexpected. Memorable.
