About this episode

About Joe Mechlinski
Joe is an award-winning business leader, investor, and a New York Times bestselling author.

But this is far from where he started.

Joe grew up in Baltimore’s inner city, with food insecurity and intermittent, unstable housing. He attended the worst high school in Maryland, with no air conditioning and lead in its water. Out of 965 freshmen in his class, he was one of only 235 seniors to graduate.   

Today, Joe is the founder and CEO of SHIFT, a tech-enabled management consulting firm that has been nationally recognized as a 9x ‘Best Workplace.’

Joe is on a mission to change the way we work to transform the way we live. He helps leaders and organizations unblock, unlock and unleash the potential and momentum of their people.

Joe‘s 2013 book, Grow Regardless, became a New York Times bestseller, followed by his second book, Shift The Work, which motivates readers to attain meaningful work-life integration by defining one’s passions. His next release, Who Says, slated for publication in 2024.

Recently, Joe launched an employee engagement platform called Latch, which uses AI and storytelling to help executive leaders get their teams on the same page... without scheduling more meetings!

Beyond this, Joe has devoted his life to being of service, especially to his hometown of Baltimore. He is dedicated to helping underserved, at-risk communities, donating and investing more than $1MM to cause and impact partners. He is also a venture partner with Conscious Venture Partners, a group that invests in minority and female-founded businesses.

Captivating and inspiring audiences on national stages, Joe’s passion is palpable - challenging the way we think, operate, and engage in ourselves, our relationships, our life and our work. Joe’s TEDx talk was ranked #40 most popular out of 15,900 TEDx talks from 2022.
