The World’s Mayor Experience · A Living Media Company in a Box
Joshua T. Berglan Build the Media Company You Own.
This website is my working Media Company in a Box—my story, books, broadcasts, podcasting, voiceover work, education, professional services, field record, and sovereign mission connected through one platform I own.
I help individuals, creators, organizations, and communities build their version. I operate as a founder-led, one-person practice, lead every engagement directly, and collaborate with local organizations or specialists when the work requires it. Professional, institutional, donor, and sponsor inquiries are considered selectively.

The Work Is Already Happening.
I have taught globally for eleven years. In Cameroon, I personally taught Media Company in a Box and Cell Phone Sovereignty across Limbe, Tiko, Souza, Bafut, Bamenda, and Yaoundé.
Pro Bono Field Delivery
Books, workshops, and media architecture are currently being provided at no cost to selected recipients in Cameroon. The professional value is unchanged; outside funding makes the access possible.
Selective Client and Institutional Work
As a one-person operation, I accept a limited number of professional engagements that are necessary, mission-aligned, and compatible with field delivery. Every accepted engagement is led by me directly.
