Ep. 24: From juvenile centers to being homeless to build a million dollar business with Joey Zago Dads and Deadlifts

In this episode I had the pleasure of sitting down with Joey Zago, the owner and CEO of "The Carpet Guys". Being a resident Michigander, Joey "The Carpet Guy" is known to everyone. Just turn on the tv, and you will see Joey at least once popping up on your screen and saying hello. I have seen his story on local tv channels. And being part of a virtual event on social media, I got to know him and his stories from his post. And I knew I had to bring him on my show and learn from his wisdom of making mistakes, getting in trouble, being homeless and then finding purpose in his life. He also started a project called "The Glove" to help support local business. There are some episodes, you as a host want to listen and learn. This was one of those episodes for me. 

His story is an inspiration. Inspiration not because of his fortune but his existential humility, kindness and a welcoming friendly smile despite surviving some of the darkest times due to his need for acceptance in society as a man. 

And to top it off, he is an inspiration to the fathers who are raising kids as he is leaving a legacy of being a present and emotionally available father.  

Go to Facebook and look up "The Glove" and like and subscribe that page. Support local businesses.
