Driving Performance Season S3E11: Featuring Josh Suggs, Founder & CEO of StreetTalk (FKA as 203Media)

In this episode, we sit down with Josh Suggs — Founder & CEO of StreetTalk (formerly 203Media) — the agency redefining how brands win attention through viral street interviews and reaction-driven content.

A self-taught creator who cut his teeth making Vine videos and YouTube vlogs, Josh has built one of the fastest-growing content agencies in the brand world by mastering what today’s audiences actually want to watch. His work has powered campaigns for brands like Dr. Squatch, Grüns, Mike’s Hot Honey, Tabs Chocolate, and more.

Josh’s path to entrepreneurship was anything but traditional.

In high school, he struggled with ADHD, spent time in special education classes, and had little interest in school — but an endless hunger to create. He knew early on that he wanted to be an entrepreneur and build through content. As a member of the tennis team, he got his first taste of business by teaching private lessons and marketing them through  mom’s Facebook groups.

He later helped scale the breakout e-commerce brand Tabs Chocolate by managing its social content, turning it into a viral success powered by TikTok and UGC. In 2022, Josh dropped out of college to start 203Media, launching street interview campaigns for brands after helping a friend with content for his business. Within weeks, referrals started rolling in. What began as $50 full-suite videos quickly turned into a $20K first month — and kept scaling from there.

Today, StreetTalk sits at the center of the edutainment movement, where street interviews have become the ultimate form of reaction content.
In this episode, we cover:
  • How Josh built a referral flywheel from day one
  • Why street interviews are dominating brand marketing
  • How he leveraged Twitter to build his team and win business
  • His perspective on AI and the future of content
  • And what it takes to scale a creator-first agency in a fast-moving world
A story about hustle, instincts, and building the future of brand content in real time — this is Josh Suggs on Driving Performance.
