Hi, I’m Josh Gottsegen. I’ve spent years creating stories that inspire, entertain, and bring people together. In 2013, I introduced the Tropland Forest with the Joosh’s Juice Bar trilogy, a series that helps kids and families discover healthy habits through fun, colorful characters.
In 2020, I expanded that world with The Adventures of Rockford T. Honeypot, my first fantasy novel. Rockford’s journey blends adventure, humor, and timeless wisdom drawn from cultures around the world. The book became an Amazon #1 bestseller and earned widespread praise for its heart and imagination.
Today, in 2025, Tropland has evolved into a digital universe reaching millions worldwide. What began as a storybook forest is now a thriving visual brand exploring the connection between creativity, technology, and the natural world.
And I’m just getting started.
Beyond Tropland, I’m the founder of OneLight Studios, where I’ve spent years helping organizations across entertainment, sports, and culture bring creative ideas to life. From video production and brand strategy to creative consulting, I’ve had the privilege of working with Universal Studios, Disney, Fox, IMG, the NFL, IndyCar, Ferrari, and the Vatican Museums.
My focus today is on how technology can expand storytelling. By integrating new creative tools into Tropland, I’ve reached millions online, built a following of more than 700,000, and collaborated with industry leaders shaping the future of digital media.
