Part comedy set, part life-saving education, this event offers hope, resources and real talk for Aggies who want to take care of themselves and each other. In 2004, Joshua Rivedal moved from New Jersey to New York City at the age of 20 to tackle the world of fame, fortune and the Broadway stage. Eight years later and through a series of remarkable life events, Joshua reinvented himself as a mission-driven international public speaker/educator, author, playwright, standup comic, freelance book editor and ghostwriter, curriculum developer, and educator. As a public speaker and educator, his primary focus is on suicide prevention and mental health; speeches and seminars on his experiences as a survivor of suicide loss, youth suicide prevention, workplace mental health and cultivating resilience—often (but not always) paired with standup comedy. Through his partnership with Skookum Hill, a publishing, consultancy, and production firm he creates content that inspires, educates, entertains, and transforms. As founder and creative director of The i'Mpossible Project, he provides advocacy, entertainment, seminars and peer-to-peer education on suicide prevention, mental health and storytelling.
