Thrust into the spotlight Joe was introduced to a world of concussions, accolades and copious amounts of drugs and alcohol.
Now 18 years sober, Joe is honest about how he found his power through truth and the experiences and learnings through which he navigates racism and understands human behaviour.
Joe chats to Josh about the difference between being a dad and a father, and how he has found compassion for his younger self.
This conversation also touches on Joe’s bipolar diagnosis, his relationship with the natural environment and the incredible difference that he is making in the mental health space now.
Joe, we can’t believe you found the time to join us. Thank you for sharing your wisdom.
