“I Love You, Grandma”

In a fitting tribute to a simply incredible woman, Joe shares his personal experience with the passing of his grandmother - reflecting upon her life of purpose, love, and selflessness, and how she became the “cornerstone” of his inspiration. Reminiscing about the enormous impact she has on his life, Joe distills the lessons he learned from her and expresses them here in his own inimitable style. Pieces of her sage advice, such as to “Cook with your own pot”, and “No matter what you do, give it your best” are explored as Joe demonstrates how we can implement this wisdom in our own lives.

A model of fearlessness, selflessness, and unshakable confidence, this very special woman provided a wealth of inspiration for our exuberant host, and through Being Insanely Great, he is carrying on her noble tradition for us all. In a particularly poignant moment, Joe recounts one of his Grandmother’s most profound statements - one which leads him to emphatically urge us all to live our lives to the fullest, express ourselves, and make selfless choices that connect us with our own purpose, bringing love, joy, and happiness. As Joe stresses, we all make our own choices, and great things come from great choices - rest assured, listening in today to his celebration of this truly formidable woman’s life and legacy will easily prove to be one of the most rewarding choices you’ve made in a long, long time.
