The World's Mayor Experience
Based in Cameroon.
Working worldwide.
Joshua T. Berglan
Author · Investigative Broadcaster · Omni-Media Architect
I listen for the story beneath the headline, give it a voice, and design media people can own.
Original books, broadcasts and investigations. All-in-one media production, publishing, streaming and training with B3 Media and Spinin — from Cameroon to the world.

United Nations speaker · SCORE Certified Mentor · Tah-Lah, Bafut Kingdom
I design media systems, and through my partnership with B3 Media and Spinin I can now deliver the whole chain: the plan, the production, the book, the broadcast, the stream, the revenue and the platform you own. Every engagement is paid and custom quoted, with ownership, fees and responsibilities agreed in writing before work begins.

Gold names are my own services. Teal names are companies of the B3 Groups of Companies; their services follow B3's own descriptions and are confirmed for each project.
Media Company in a Box is my practical method for turning a story, skill or mission into content, an owned platform and a clear offer. The phone is the studio. Guided workshops and implementation are available as paid engagements, and every stage above is there when you are ready to grow.

A revised, expanded and unfiltered memoir of trauma, addiction, identity, abuse, accountability, survival, faith, and the long fight to reclaim a life. The human story beneath the public work.
Original edition: #1 bestseller in four countries · Seven festival awards for the screen adaptation Explore the second edition →The World's Mayor is my public identity as a listener, connector, advocate, storyteller and builder across borders. The name carries a responsibility: listen carefully, ask better questions, and use media to return dignity, voice and ownership.
People are more than diagnoses, headlines, mistakes, nationality or circumstance. The real story begins where the easy label ends.
I follow the evidence, the money, the ownership and the human consequences, while protecting the complexity that makes truth worth hearing.
A story can become a book, broadcast, body of knowledge, platform, opportunity and legacy.
Before media, there was service. That work shaped how I see human potential: more than a diagnosis or circumstance, and deserving of the right tools.
My path moved through medical aesthetics and skincare, including product development and global distribution for a publicly traded skincare company. That is where I learned brand architecture and international markets from the inside.
I became a four-time #1 international bestselling author, an award-winning producer, voice-over artist and podcast host with 126+ IMDb credits, a United Nations speaker and a SCORE Certified Mentor. I have taught globally for more than eleven years.
The work also grew from addiction, homelessness, an HIV diagnosis, incarceration, trauma, neurodivergence, and the transformation that followed. My teaching is autobiographical before it is theoretical.
The Fon of Bafut conferred on me the royal title Tah-Lah , “Father of the Land.” Today I live and work in Cameroon, connecting storytelling, practical skills and creator ownership.
Eight film festival awards, four #1 international bestselling books, 126+ IMDb credits, United Nations speaking and SCORE Certified Mentor credentials. The records are available to review.
The complete record also includes three 2021 nominations and eleven professional certifications. Review the credentials portfolio for the supporting record.
“He first makes a safe space by embracing his vulnerability and makes you feel seen, heard. Joshua is not simply a broadcaster; he is a Cultural Alchemist. He takes the leaden weight of broken narratives and refines them into the gold of advocacy. He is also an Advocacy Actuary, turning data into stories.”
“Just two weeks after getting the book and implementing the strategies, my honey business gained more visibility. And not just visibility — I got paying clients. I also used the same principles to create a free website for my Forex academy and, within the same week, enrolled two students.”
“Within a short period of time I have been able to create things I was struggling with, like my website and payments. He helped me see things out of the box and increase my view. He is incredibly kind and generous.”
“It is clear why Mr. Berglan is known worldwide as The World's Mayor. He is deeply dedicated to empowering individuals through service management, media insights and impactful talent development. An exceptional mentor!”
“One of the most wonderful humans I have ever met. This man's purpose, dream, vision, drive and dedication to making the world a better place are outstanding. He is truly being the change he wants to see in the world.”

Professional bookings are paid, with scope and fees agreed in advance. Free resources and selected teaching at no charge remain part of my Cameroon mission.
My global teaching record spans more than eleven years. In Cameroon, I have personally taught in Limbe, Tiko, Souza, Bafut, Bamenda and Yaoundé.
Cameroon is the reporting base. Africa is the field. The world is the beat.
I arrived in Cameroon without cameras and taught people to use what was already in their hands: a phone, a voice and something worth saying. The same ownership-first method can support a phone-only creator or a full production team.
I am the sole architect and orchestrator of The Sovereign Franchise, working toward 500 sovereign media hubs worldwide under my direct orchestration. The development vision begins with Royal Echo Village in Nchum, Bafut Kingdom; Nakivale Refugee Settlement, Uganda, remains a planned replication node.
Organizations involved in the field work are recognized as field deployments. Their work and outcomes remain theirs to claim.


Listening, teaching and building practical media skills in Cameroon.
Yes. Professional bookings, including consulting, production, publishing, broadcast and streaming projects, speaking, hosting, voice-over, mentorship and full-production training through B3 Media, are paid and custom quoted, with scope and fees agreed in writing. Free resources and selected teaching at no charge remain part of my Cameroon mission; they are not a blanket offer of free professional services. Explore the Work With Joshua page.
Joshua T. Berglan, known as The World's Mayor, is an author, investigative broadcaster, Omni-Media Architect, award-winning voice-over artist and podcast host based in Cameroon and working worldwide. His work connects storytelling, production, teaching and creator ownership.
Joshua offers custom-quoted media architecture, production, book publishing, voice-over, hosting, speaking, artist management, media house builds and Media Company in a Box training. Through his partnership with B3 Media and Spinin, a project can also be broadcast, streamed, distributed and monetized. Most workshops run through the B3 Media partnership at local hubs, and other organizations can message Joshua to arrange paid teaching. Start with the professional services page to request a custom proposal.
They complete the chain. B3 Production and B3 Sounds bring film, television, music and live-event production. ROC TV brings six broadcast channels, and HS Events & Talent Management brings events, artist bookings and brand activations. Spinin, the B3 group's digital entertainment and technology division, brings video-on-demand streaming, film and series distribution, online subscriptions, digital payments, and mobile and web platforms. B3 is Joshua's partner: he does not own B3, and B3 does not own his practice. Services are confirmed for each project; see the B3 Media page.
Through B3 Media, I deliver paid, hands-on training with full media production equipment. Most workshops run through this partnership at local hubs; other organizations can arrange tailored bookings. My mission work continues alongside this: free resources remain available, and I teach selected groups without charge, depending on their needs, what is being taught and the scope. Visit the professional services page to discuss a training booking.

The Experience Bookshelf organizes Joshua's books and publishing work. The Devil Inside Me, Second Edition, has a dedicated page with the available formats. Open the Bookshelf.
The eight festival awards are named on this page. Joshua's IMDb profile and the official Awards & Credentials portfolio provide records of the awards, screen credits and professional credentials.
The Sovereign Franchise is Joshua's build of 500 sovereign media hubs worldwide, starting in Cameroon. Each hub runs on the Media Company in a Box framework, so a community can produce and own its media without borrowed permission or borrowed attention. The flagship is the Royal Echo Village in Nchum, Bafut Kingdom, with a planned replication node at Nakivale Refugee Settlement in Uganda.
News From The World's Mayor carries investigations, broadcasts and field dispatches, and the missions page documents the Cameroon work. Joshua's paid practice funds his presence on the ground, so booking his work supports it. Free resources and selected teaching at no charge remain part of his Cameroon mission.
