Join Bill with his guest Joe Gallagher Jr., also known as Chef Giuseppe, the founder of Apastioli Specialty Foods and Roma Parfum. Joe is the author of From Bars to Jars: A Saucy Redemption Story and is currently developing an exciting TV series called Sauce.

After hitting rock bottom and finding faith, Joe turned his life around—starting with a single jar of homemade sauce and a bold walk into a Charleston Piggly Wiggly. What began as personal redemption quickly revealed a hidden demand across the South for real, authentic Italian food made with integrity. Apastioli isn’t just a brand—it’s a movement rooted in tradition, driven by purpose, and built from scratch in a region where quality Italian products were hard to find. With grit, grace, and an unforgettable red sauce, Joe has disrupted the Southern grocery aisle and scaled to meet demand from major retailers.

Expanding his entrepreneurial vision, Joe has now launched Roma Parfum, a luxury fragrance line offering high-concentration extrait de parfum crafted with the same discipline, craftsmanship, and intentionality he brings to his sauces—timeless scents that embody resilience, identity, and earned luxury.

For Lowcountry Revolutionaries, Joe shares the raw, unfiltered story of second chances, food innovation, fragrance artistry, faith-fueled rebellion, and his next chapter in entertainment with the upcoming TV series Sauce.

Join Bill and his guests, Donna and Scott Netzley, who launched Sensible CFO & Consulting in October 2023 after identifying a clear market need. Large companies can easily afford full-time CFOs and controllers, but small-to-mid-sized businesses typically cannot justify those salary levels—yet they still desperately need the expertise.

Sensible solves this problem by providing fractional CFO, controller, and bookkeeping services on a part-time basis to startups and growing companies that don’t require (or can’t afford) full-time financial leadership.

Scott and Donna both began their careers in auditing before transitioning into corporate accounting roles. Scott rose to become a CFO, while Donna advanced to controller. At Sensible, Scott leads the fractional CFO practice, and Donna oversees the fractional controller services as well as a team of bookkeepers.

Recently, they’ve expanded into an innovative new offering called Private Financial Concierge, through which Donna delivers personalized administrative and operational financial services to high-net-worth individuals.
