Joel Johnson: The Master of Perception—And The Truth He Can't Escape

TL;DR:

Joel Johnson isn’t just a narcissist—he’s a professional manipulator, a public relations and marketing executive who has built his career on shaping perception, controlling narratives, and evading accountability. As a former CEO of a multimillion-dollar Kickstarter company, a media strategist, and an advisor to government and corporate leaders, he knows how to spin reality in his favor—and when exposed, he deploys the same PR tactics to suppress the truth. But this time, the mirror doesn’t blink. His own expertise in deception is now the very thing being dissected, documented, and laid bare for the world to see.

Joel Johnson is not just an entrepreneur.

He is an architect of influence, a man who has spent his entire career mastering the art of perception, narrative control, and psychological persuasion.

A public relations and marketing executive, a media-savvy strategist, and a self-described "scrappy startup guy," his entire livelihood depends on shaping reality

…bending the truth into a marketable, compelling, and profitable story.

A Career Built on Influence, Not Integrity

  • Founder & CEO of KinetiGear LLC, where he led a $1.2 million Kickstarter campaign, one of the top 1% most funded projects ever.

  • Raised over $3.5 million in crowdfunding, investments, and SBA funding, leveraging public trust to build and market his company.

  • His product, BoXZY, was promoted as a game-changing innovation—used by NASA, Google, and the U.S. Military.

At first glance, Joel appears to be a visionary entrepreneur, someone who has left a tangible impact on the world of technology, innovation, and business.

But when you dig beneath the polished exterior, a different picture emerges—

…one of a man whose expertise in shaping narratives doesn’t stop at marketing products.

Marketing & PR—His Profession and His Weapon

  • Director of Marketing & PR at Shaka Restaurant Group, where he crafted PR campaigns and crisis responses, manipulating public perception at the highest level.

  • Regular invitee to White House summits, U.S. Congressional briefings, and policy discussions, presenting himself as a key figure in innovation and entrepreneurship.

  • A media veteran, appearing on Discovery Channel, featured in Pittsburgh Magazine, 3Dprint.com, O'Reilly Media, and Make Magazine.

He isn't just good at controlling narratives—

…he is a professional at it.

Joel lives and breathes the art of public manipulation, and when confronted with the truth of his own actions, he does not respond like an ordinary person—

…he deploys the same PR strategies he’s spent his life mastering.

This is why his exposure matters.

Joel Johnson: A Master of Reality Distortion

The skills that made Joel a success in marketing and PR are the same ones he weaponizes to rewrite history, shift blame, and evade accountability.

He understands how to frame himself as the victim while targeting others.

He uses social engineering to manipulate platforms into suppressing information that exposes him.

He builds alliances, cultivates influencers, and leverages public trust to shape narratives in his favor.

His career has been built on public trust

…the idea that Joel Johnson is a man of innovation, leadership, and integrity.

But trust is meaningless when it’s built on deception.

Why His Exposure Is Critical

Joel Johnson is not just another online bad actor

…he is a high-profile manipulator who has successfully leveraged his expertise in narrative control to escape consequences.

🔹 He is a known figure in the world of startups, marketing, and technology.

🔹 His influence extends into media, politics, and corporate power structures.

🔹 He has successfully rewritten reality before—twisting facts to suit his needs, burying truth under PR spin.

🔹 He isn’t just another narcissist—he is a narcissist with the skill set, resources, and experience to manipulate entire ecosystems.

And now, for the first time, the mirror is unblinking.

Joel Johnson never expected to be on the receiving end of exposure

…because his entire career has revolved around ensuring he controls the narrative.

This is why his exposure isn’t just justified—

…it’s essential.

Because a man who built his power on deception should never be allowed to hide behind it.
