Joshua B. Lee

Joshua B. Lee is a 20+ year entrepreneur, founder of StandOut Authority, and co-creator of YOUmanize™, where he helps founders become the trusted answer in the age of AI. Over the course of his career, he has built 16 companies and managed nearly a billion dollars in ad spend, working across platforms like Google and MySpace as digital discovery evolved in real time.

What Joshua recognized through that experience is that the market doesn’t reward the most experienced operator… it rewards the clearest one. Today, as AI becomes the first layer of discovery, that gap between expertise and recognition is widening faster than most founders realize.

Known as The YOUman Catalyst, Joshua focuses on transforming human expertise into structured authority so it can be recognized by both people and AI systems. Through his work in Authority Architecture and Answer Engine Optimization, he helps leaders align their voice, frameworks, and positioning so they are surfaced, trusted, and chosen before the conversation even begins.

His work is grounded in a simple but powerful transformation… humanity becomes authority, and authority becomes the answer. In a world where information is infinite, Joshua helps ensure the right people are the ones who get found.
