Get ready for an honest, reflective, and inspiring conversation that opens up new ways of looking at success, service, and true connection.
I’m excited to introduce our guest, Joe DeLoss—former CEO of Hot Chicken Takeover and current owner of Baker Road. Joe’s journey is filled with entrepreneurial drive, emotional growth, and a deep dive into what it means to become our most authentic selves.
Joe and I talk about his own struggles with chasing external validation, the pivotal moments that sparked his inner awareness, and how those lessons now fuel his work at Baker Road, an adventure retreat designed for healing and personal development.
We explore what it means to be the best version of ourselves as men and women, discuss the impact of parenting, and unpack the unique challenges of emotional safety and vulnerability.
Joe also shares his perspective on relationships, the pitfalls of commodified wellness, and why honoring individual paths to healing matters.

It is an experience that helps you to learn more about these tools in real time, along with a little bit of luxury. These are quarterly events that you can sign up to be a part of, or you can join our free community on Skool, called Authentic Connection for Healing. We have space where you can go and find like-minded people who are on that same journey, who are just trying to learn some of these new concepts in order to better their lives.
