Ep. 28 – Power Without a Title: How Joshua Dieudonne Is Reshaping New York

In this episode of Policy & Culture, we sit down with Joshua Dieudonne, political strategist, entrepreneur, and founder of Project 2028, for a powerful conversation on influence, economic empowerment, and building power beyond elected office.

Joshua shares his remarkable journey from growing up in Flatbush, Brooklyn, to becoming a mayoral advisor at just 22 years old and one of New York’s most respected behind-the-scenes strategists. We explore how culture, politics, and business intersect to create opportunity, and why relationships, ownership, and entrepreneurship are essential to building generational wealth.

The conversation dives into the inspiration behind the groundbreaking MYBE Bill, the challenges of advancing legislation as a non-elected leader, and the role government should play in supporting young entrepreneurs. Joshua also discusses Project 2028, his vision for expanding economic opportunity, and how artists, creators, and community leaders can leverage cultural influence into lasting economic power.

This episode offers an inside look at how influence is built, how policy is shaped, and why the next generation must think differently about leadership, wealth creation, and creating meaningful change in their communities.
