Patience is a Virtue… But Can We Talk About Being on Time?
In this episode, Joe drops some serious knowledge on the importance of being on time—because let’s face it, in Joe’s world, if you’re not 5 minutes early, you’re late. Having juggled multiple businesses, he knows that being punctual isn’t just polite; it’s non-negotiable. It’s like a business rule, only Joe calls it a life rule. Whether it’s appointments, builds, or even salespeople, Joe’s all about being on time. That means 5 minutes before you clock in, and if you’re not there, don’t even bother showing up.
Joe’s Sick Day (Not the One You Want)
Joe also took a moment to talk about how he knows when he’s about to get sick—his throat feels like sandpaper and his nose starts running like a broken faucet. He jokes about how the holiday season isn’t the only time people have red noses—it’s because everyone’s catching colds like it’s going out of style. And let’s not forget his classic line: “Don’t be the nasty MF sniffing and swallowing that stuff down.” Sorry, Baker Mayfield—we’re not judging, but we might be.
Michael Jordan: The Goat of Patience
Joe reflects on how patience has taught him so much over the years. As he gets older, he’s wiser (and less tolerant of bad business decisions). He brings up his all-time hero, Michael Jordan, as an example of how effort and patience turn you into a legend. MJ didn’t rush into greatness; he worked at it every day, and that’s the vibe Joe’s channeling. He wants to level up in every area of his life, whether it’s mentally, physically, or in business. Like MJ, Joe’s been through challenges, including a clean slate after personal struggles, but his hustle never stopped.
The Reality of Business: Don’t Rush, Just Hustle
Joe talks about the fundamentals of running a business: Patience, effort, honesty, and service. He says, “Don’t lie, don’t cheat, and don’t underbid just to get a job.” You can’t sell what people don’t want—only what they need. And here’s the kicker: You can’t flex unless you’ve got muscle. That’s a long road to travel, but if you’re in it for the long haul, it’s worth it.
Joe Gets Political (Kinda)
Joe also cracks a few jokes about politicians. He’s got some lighthearted commentary about Trump’s boldness, Biden’s ice cream habit, and Kamala’s laugh. (It’s all in good fun, but hey, sometimes you’ve gotta throw in a little humor about the big names in the game). He even gives a nod to 75 Hard, a program that’s about to fuel his drive for the year ahead, because if you’re not pushing yourself to the limit, are you really living?
Business Wisdom & Road Rage
Let’s wrap it up with some real talk about business and life. Time is a commodity that Joe doesn’t take lightly, and that includes not wasting it on bad decisions. He’s been in the game long enough to know that you need to be strategic. He even goes off on the topic of road rage, reminding us not to get frustrated when someone’s driving slow. We don’t know their story—maybe it’s a student driver or a grandma just trying to make it to bingo night.
Family, Football, and Kicking Ass
Joe signs off with some family time plans—football games, office parties, and a whole lot of traveling. Through it all, his message is simple: Give it your best and forget the rest. Whether it’s in your business, your health, or your relationships, put in the effort, keep pushing, and don’t sweat the small stuff.
So, grab a seat, laugh your way through the chaos, and share the mutha f*in’ show. Joe’s bringing the heat, as usual—on time, with patience, and a whole lot of real talk.
