This conversation will give you an idea into Joe’s thinking and philosophy as we discuss things like: — The surprising connection between entrepreneurship and addiction — How thoughtfulness can radically improve your life — Why Joe invests more time, attention, money, and effort into relationships than any other area of life, and why you should too — How suffering creates opportunities for connection — What he learned from taking a year long sabbatical.
