Joshua Tate is a devoted husband, father, minister, and purpose-driven entrepreneur.

Joshua Tate is a motivational speaker based in Memphis, Tennessee, where he lives with his wife Crystal — his middle school sweetheart — and their three incredible children. Two of their children were born with a rare condition called osteogenesis imperfecta, a journey that has deeply shaped Joshua’s outlook, strengthened his faith, and ignited his passion for helping young people overcome life’s challenges with strength and resilience.

Joshua is on a mission to empower 100,000 students to realize they were made for more, make powerful decisions, and rise above adversity. Through transparent storytelling, practical frameworks, and lived experience, he connects with middle and high school students in a way that’s real, relatable, and unforgettable. Whether he’s speaking in a school gym, sharing a message online, or showing up for his family, Joshua leads with purpose, passion, and authenticity.

His greatest success isn’t in business—it’s in the impact he makes every time a student chooses to believe in themselves, take control of their future, and become who they were meant to be.
