A little about Joe

Joe has presented over 100 talks in 17 different countries to an array of audience sizes, ranging from small corporate groups to filled amphitheaters. Joe draws from his own experiences of being the underdog, learning to embrace risks, and ultimately adopting a stop-at-nothing attitude when it comes to his health and happiness.

By age 12, Joe was delivering newspapers to half of the town, and by age 18, he had bought and sold 14 cars. Joe’s self-reliance and commitment to results followed him into adulthood, where he now educates on making the internal shift from obstacle to opportunity. In a world so fixated on things outside of ourselves, Joe shares his secrets to the contagious confidence that ensures his success in whatever he sets out to achieve.

It was when Joe suffered a traumatic brain injury that he found himself challenged like never before. In a painful and lengthy process, Joe learned first-hand the meaning of commitment, the power of intention, and essential keys to truly optimizing human wellness.

Joe’s captivating energy and light-hearted attitude captures audiences and empowers them to ask difficult questions. Audiences will get in touch with what’s truly important to them, and walk away with a permission slip and a dedication to act in alignment with their purpose and objectives.

Testimonials (1)
  • I met Joe 10 years ago. He was a young man on a mission. His passion for people was palpable and I took to him immediately. He’s the kind of person that lights up the room with his presence and his vast knowledge and genuine love for helping people sets him apart. I have watched his development over the past decade and it is evident that he is a leader among men. If you’re looking for a speaker to inspire, you need look no further.
