Customer Reviews
Great Questions!
I really appreciate a host that does homework and asks great questions. Joe does exactly that. This is an excellent business podcast and it was a pleasure to be a guest on his show.
Great experience with Joe!
Look no further for your listening delights — Joe’s Experience Curve is exactly what you want out of a podcast. If you have a career, you gotta listen.
His style is a fantastic mix of enthusiasm, support, curiosity, and thought-provoking challenges in the best ways. This approach delves far beyond the surface into stories and journeys that most people never get to see. It’s extremely compelling and will open your eyes to opportunities you never knew about or considered. Not only that, but no matter your field or stage of career, you’ll walk away with an encouraging spring in your step.
I was a fan before I was a guest, and it meant the world to get to talk to him on air.
Most importantly, Joe’s values and ethics shined through both before, during, and after our recorded show. Run, don’t walk, to work with him. Don’t sleep on it!
