What special skills and superpowers do you have and where did you get them?

Who is your arch-enemy and how do you recommend they be conquered?
Josh has written four business books, including the bestseller Groundswell: Winning in a World Transformed by Social Technologies (Harvard Business Press, 2008).
He blogs every weekday about writing, communication, and bullshit. His blog will soon top 2 million views.
For 20 years before becoming a solitary superhero, Josh was an analyst and senior vice president, idea development at Forrester Research.
In his quest to rid the world of bullshit, Josh runs clear writing workshops for corporate writers and departments. He helps authors develop ideas, edits their books, and gives keynote speeches about the value of clear writing.
Josh is also the CEO of wellnesscampaign.org, a non-profit dedicated to the pursuit of wellness through changing habits. Even so, his body doesn’t actually look like the picture on this card.
