Joe is Back! May is Mental Health Awareness Month and Joe discusses why he was gone for a few weeks and how we overcame the naggy question of "Are you doing enough Bruh?". Joe explains some underlying feelings and mindsets (Spoiler Alert: it's Scarcity Mindset) within that question and how to combat it! Joe also introduces the new segment: Medals, Milestones, and Mishaps sponsored by Obsidian Wellness Club. Joe will answer questions, share his experiences, and share some embarrassing mishaps. Even if you don’t even want to do the races, you will be able to get a gem from it and be entertained.
