Meet your Geek-In-Chief
Hi, I’m Josh!
As a UN- and EU-accredited translator & interpreter and self-proclaimed tech geek, I love staying ahead of the latest innovations impacting our profession.
Insiders is my way to give members first dibs on my future-focused vision for our profession, industry-specific tips and actionable strategies to help stay relevant.
What started with informal weekly webinars during the COVID-19 pandemic as a way to learn new skills quickly turned into something much bigger:
A community of 450+ like-minded language professionals looking for shared accountability from colleagues who are ready to take action together.
This is where your next 12 months as an insider could take you:
If you do the work, show up and tap into the community!
As soon as you join…
…you introduce yourself in the community and reach out to fellow members in your area of expertise.
You watch a tech tutorial that solves an issue you’ve been avoiding for months, and decide to focus on the “Productivity & Business” learning path to begin with (because you know you could do much better).
After 3 months inside…
…you’ve found your new business besties, and you make an effort to attend the LIVE networking sessions together.
You’re midway through the first LIVE challenge and are making serious progress!
Once that’s wrapped up, you’ll move on to the “Speech Recognition” or “AI” learning path. Because it’s critical to keep up with the latest developments!
After your first year…
…you’ve just renewed for another year.
In only 12 months, you’ve upped your rates, established yourself as an industry leader, got the hang of AI… and you’re excited for what the future brings!
Josh’s support, ideas and tips have been invaluable for your growth as a business owner and language professional.
insider Colleen Terry loves the community & library:
“I have been able to confidently raise my rates with my current clients.”
“I've also learned a ton about how to leverage AI to my advantage, which has been a huge, huge time saver and has really boosted productivity all around. And having all the insiders videos available means I can fill a spare hour with a refresher course or learn something new whenever I want to.
The people are really willing to help and support each other. It's been great seeing others' progress in parallel to my own, and it's fun to see the same people in the webinars and other translator associations.”

insiders is the community for driven language professionals who want to be “in the know”
If at least one of these statements resonates with you…
🙋♂️ You know there are ways to make you more productive and professional,
and you prefer to skip right to the good bits rather than research for hours.
🙋♂️ You understand the benefits of running your business more strategically,
but you’re scared to make the BIG, necessary changes on your own.
🙋♂️ You’re overwhelmed by emerging tech tools and AI,
but realize it’s a necessary evil to create a future-proof business plan.
🙋♂️ You crave meaningful connections with like-minded language professionals,
and you’re ready to grow a network you can lean on for referrals and collaborations.
🙋♂️ You value LIVE support and guidance from someone a few steps ahead of you,
because they’ve walked the walk, and can fast-track your success.
🙋♂️ You’re tired of one-off courses,
and want ongoing support, peace of mind and everything you need in one place instead.

Let’s hear from insider Giovanna Comollo:
“Insiders has helped me find new clients in a constantly evolving market.”
“I have built a new perspective about AI, how to use it and what to watch out for legally. A couple of programs have even become my daily companions for better and faster results.
Insiders really helps you to see what's happening in the world: new programs, new possibilities and new instruments you might not be aware of.
And I feel part of a family now.”
