Joe Smarro is a Marine Corps veteran, former police officer, and best-selling author of Unarmed. He is the co-founder of Solution Point Plus, a company dedicated to training first responders in mental health awareness, emotional intelligence, and suicide prevention.
The latest episode of Mastering the Inner and Outer Wealth podcast with host Jarek Tadla starts with Joe’s raw and powerful journey of growing up in a household filled with abuse, how he joined the Marine Corps, and how the battlefield trauma compounded his unresolved childhood wounds.
Joe also shares the moment that pushed him to seek therapy, breaking free from destructive patterns, and ultimately dedicating his life to helping others.
Jarek and Joe dive deep into judgment vs. curiosity, inherited belief systems, and the dangers of seeking external validation. They explore how trauma shapes our behaviors, the ways men often suppress emotions, and why true wealth comes from mastering your inner world.
Join us as we discuss how to process any trauma you may have, rewire harmful belief systems, develop your own emotional intelligence, and create a life of purpose and self-worth.
