Businesses can't empower women at work without also tackling the structures that make it tougher for men to be caregivers at home. Josh Levs is the top thought leader in addressing this through keynotes, workshops, corporate training, and more. A former NPR and CNN journalist and successful entrepreneur, he is a U.N. Global Gender Champion and author of the Nautilus Gold-winning book All In: How Our Work-First Culture Fails Dads, Families, and Businesses--And How We Can Fix It Together. The book has won rave reviews and coverage from the New York Times, Forbes, Chicago Tribune, The Telegraph, NewsOne, and major media all over the world.

Levs spent 20 years reporting for NPR and CNN, where he developed unique expertise on nonpartisan fact checking. On TV, he has been called "Truth Seeker in Chief," "Mr. Reality," and "Senior Everything Correspondent."

Levs also created a role covering modern families and developed unprecedented expertise in assessing the realities of today’s dads.

Levs then stepped into a global spotlight by taking legal action against Time Warner (CNN’s parent company) for fair parental leave so he could care for his preemie daughter and sick wife. The company ultimately embraced his call, revolutionizing its policy to make it better for moms and dads. The United Nations named Levs a Global Champion of Gender Equality.

Proceeds from the event benefit the Ronald McDonald House of Philadelphia
