Author/ Actor/ Founder of Committed Impulse
Josh Pais is a master of presence—on screen and in real life.
A celebrated actor with over 150 film and TV credits, you’ve seen him in The Dropout, A Man in Full, Younger, Ray Donovan, High Maintenance, and as Raphael in the original Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles. Behind the scenes, Josh has worked alongside Hollywood legends like Meryl Streep, Robert De Niro, Joaquin Phoenix and Edward Norton.
But what sets him apart isn’t just his résumé—it’s the revolution he’s sparked in how we access creativity, presence, and power.
Josh is the founder of Committed Impulse, a groundbreaking training born from his own acting process that has since become a “secret weapon” for thousands of top entrepreneurs, artists, doctors, lawyers, public speakers, and creators of all kinds. His work helps people break free from the tyranny of overthinking and drop into a state of embodied, spontaneous brilliance.
Born to a theoretical physicist who worked alongside Einstein and a poet-painter mother, Josh grew up at the intersection of intellect and intuition. That lineage lives in his work—a rare blend of grounded technique and spiritual aliveness.
In his new book, Lose Your Mind: The Path to Creative Invincibility, Josh shares the tools that have transformed careers, stage performances, boardrooms, and lives—showing you how to stop letting fear and anxiety run the show, and start trusting the moment.
