Confidence isn’t something you either have or don’t.

It’s something you build — deliberately, repeatedly, and imperfectly.

In this episode, Joe breaks down why practice matters more than insight, why habits shape your emotional reactions, and how small, daily rituals can rewire the way you respond to stress, fear, and self-doubt.

This isn’t about quick fixes or positive thinking.

It’s about building a foundation that holds when things get hard.
