My guest this week is Josh Bloomfield, a man whose journey began with an unexpected opportunity to develop grant management software straight out of high school, skipping traditional post-secondary education.

His career evolved through various tech projects, including work with under-resourced entrepreneurs and nonprofits. In 2017, inspired by his wife, he recognized the potential to support an entire underserved market of world-changers tackling global challenges. 

This led to the creation of Givecloud, a platform designed to empower nonprofits with technology. Throughout his life, Bloomfield has balanced his tech career with a deep commitment to his faith community. 

He's also openly discussed his family's history of addiction, which has shaped his perspective and approach to life and work.

We discuss:

  • Discovering his Dad's secret addiction
  • His faith's reaction to him seeking therapy
  • Recognising everyone is one bad choice away from addiction
  • The power of talking to yourself
  • Prayer as a state of being
