What is The World's Mayor Experience podcast?

The World's Mayor Experience is an Anti-Niche Network podcast and media platform hosted by Joshua T. Berglan.

What is Media Company in a Box?

Media Company in a Box is a proprietary framework created by Joshua T. Berglan that teaches individuals—regardless of education, disability, or background—to become one-person media organizations. It democratizes media production tools, enabling people to monetize their God-given talents and intellectual property, creating economic sovereignty in the 4th Industrial Revolution.

What does 'Serve Over Sell' mean?

'Serve Over Sell' is a core principle of The World's Mayor philosophy. It prioritizes value creation and transformation over transaction. Instead of focusing on what can be extracted from others, it emphasizes giving, equipping, and lifting up. The belief is that revenue follows value, not the other way around.

What is the Mayor Mindset?

The Mayor Mindset is the belief that leadership is not about ruling over others, but about elevating individuals into their areas of greatest strength. It rejects zero-sum thinking: if I help you win, the world gets better, and I win by default. It's a universal stewardship of human potential available to anyone who chooses to adopt it.
