As the wheels of his motorcycle spun, so did his Instagram followers' count, marking the beginning of an exhilarating ride into the world of food reviewing. It all kicked off as a fun endeavor on Instagram, but when the follower count hit 1,000, Joshua realized he was onto something special. His humble hobby morphed into a mission - a mission to spotlight small businesses and offer them a platform for growth through his engaging food reviews. This heartfelt initiative struck a chord with the audience, propelling his follower count to soar over 100,000.
