Award-Winning Author, Gender Equality Champion, Former CNN/NPR Journalist
Josh Levs Biography
Josh Levs is an entrepreneur, former CNN and NPR journalist, and the leading global expert on modern fathers in the workplace. He is the author of the award-winning book "All In: How Our Work-First Culture Fails Dads, Families, and Businesses–And How We Can Fix It Together". The United Nations named him a Global Champion of Gender Equality. A New York Times front-page story declared him “a pioneer.” He has testified in Congress, won a debate on feminism at Oxford, and is a leading business consultant and keynote speaker.
Levs spent 20 years reporting for NPR and CNN, where he developed unique expertise on nonpartisan fact checking. On TV, he has been called “Truth Seeker in Chief,” “Mr. Reality,” and “Senior Everything Correspondent.” He also created a role covering modern families and developed unprecedented expertise in assessing the realities of today’s dads. His legal action against Time Warner, for fair parental leave, led to significant policy changes that benefited both mothers and fathers, showcasing his commitment to gender equality in the workplace.
With the publication of his book, Levs became the leading voice for modern dads at work, shining a light on their unknown struggles. He works with corporations, organizations, universities and more to build policies that support men as equal caregivers, a crucial step toward ensuring equal career opportunities for women. He has been a keynote speaker at events like the Global Purpose Summit and HOBY World Leadership Congress, sharing insights on achieving the impossible and creating supportive work environments for parents. His first TEDx Talk details the innovative "Cups and Ice System" he devised to achieve challenging goals.
Levs has been recognized extensively for his contributions to journalism and social advocacy, receiving six Peabody Awards, two Edward R. Murrow Awards, and awards from duPont-Columbia, the AP, the Society of Professional Journalists, and the National Association of Black Journalists, among others. A scholarship in his name at Yale University highlights his impact and recognition in the field. He continues to influence a wide audience through his writing and speaking, being featured in outlets like "Reader's Digest," "People," "The Atlantic," and "Harvard Business Review," and delivering motivational speeches on media, fatherhood, and overcoming obstacles.
