In episode 41 of the Success Series, David Berg sits down with Josh Zipkowitz, a dynamic entrepreneur and co-founder of Uncommon Entertainment. Over the past decade, Josh has been involved in hospitality, events, and entertainment, curating large-scale live experiences and managing operations for major global moments. From the Palm Tree Festival with Kygo to exclusive Super Bowl events with Justin Bieber and Drake, his company has made waves in the industry. But behind the glamorous success lies Josh’s true secret to fulfillment: his deep study of Kabbalah and spirituality. For Josh, Kabbalah is more than just a guiding philosophy—it’s the foundation of his professional and personal life. He credits his spiritual practice for the clarity, peace, and connection he brings to every project and every relationship. Without it, he believes he wouldn’t have achieved the same level of success or experienced the immense blessings he enjoys today. His spiritual practice allows him to stay grounded, remain humble, and see the bigger picture, even amidst the fast-paced world of celebrity events. In this episode, Josh opens up about how spirituality has empowered him to create spaces that go beyond the surface, crafting environments where people—whether A-listers or everyday clients—can truly connect and feel at ease. He talks about balancing the high demands of his work with the importance of joy, fulfillment, and doing good for others.
