Josh is a former Navy SEAL and entrepreneur.
After graduating from Wake Forest University, Josh passed on a scholarship to Yale University Divinity School to fight for our nation after the events of 9/11 and the commencement of the War in Iraq. He served as a SEAL officer for 12+ years and deployed overseas 11 times in support of the Global War on Terror. He is the recipient of three bronze stars and multiple medals.
Josh left the service in 2018 and is today the co-founder and Chief Operating Officer of Angel Kids AI. In an internet environment where children are constantly exposed to inappropriate and addictive content, not to mention potential predators, daily, Angel Kids is a parent-created platform that provides guardrails for children to explore the online world safely.

0:00.0 | Good morning, everybody. Welcome back. Today we're talking largely about internet safety. I've read that we have access to 98% of the known knowledge of mankind through our devices, laptop, tablet, phone, whatever it may be. How do we access that safely, though, with our children? How do we create a system, an app, a portal that allows |
0:24.5 | them to access it safely with barriers and boundaries? Because if you have kids, you know, |
0:30.3 | you do the absolute best that you can. You're not always there. And sometimes unfettered access, |
0:37.2 | unsupervised access to the internet can read to |
0:40.2 | really, really dark places. My guest today is Josh Thurman. He is the co-founder and chief |
0:45.7 | operating officer of a company called Angel AI. I am not even going to begin to describe what |
0:50.4 | they do because he does an amazing job. We actually walk through it in real time showing it. Before this, though, before Josh got into the entrepreneurial world, he was Navy SEAL. |
1:01.1 | He served for 12 plus years, deployed overseas 11 times in the support of the global war on |
1:05.6 | terror. I let him describe his career. It's fascinating to me to see the people where they come from, why, what they do while |
1:14.7 | they in and while they're in, and then what they do afterwards. |

1:18.9 | It's inspirational. |
1:20.5 | I always leave these conversations thinking, God, I know that I can do more and I need to. |
1:25.2 | So before we get into episode 384 with Josh Thurman, |
1:28.3 | let me pay the bills. Today's episode is brought to you by Montana Knife Company. If you |
1:34.9 | have been a fan of the podcast, you've probably heard the episodes I've done with their founder, |
1:38.7 | Josh Smith. This brand born, bred, raised and is growing rapidly in Montana, about 100 miles south of where I am. |
1:47.9 | Frenchtown, Montana is where they're currently operating. |
1:50.1 | They're building a massive facility on the western edge of Missoula. |
1:54.1 | So the Montana Knife Company, kind of makes sense where that came from. |
1:58.2 | The state of Montana is also in the logo, but it's a global brand. These are some of the highest quality knives I've ever gotten my hands on. Beyond the fact |
2:06.3 | that Josh is bringing jobs back into Montana, these are American made. I literally have met the people |
