Things Joe says

Skills are just not as important as character.

The difference between growth and chaos is your ability as a founder, as an owner, as a business leader, to very clearly articulate what you are looking for out of your people and where you want them to point.

People are building blocks, but they are people.

Confidence doesn’t need control, it needs presence.

Most leaders lose people not because the decision was wrong, but because the delivery was reckless.

You can correct without cutting people off. You can disagree without disrespect.

This little girl doesn’t care about my achievements, my schedule, or my ambitions. She only cares that I’m here.

Tradition is not nostalgia. It’s trust.

Love’s not what we say. Love is what we give, and the most honest thing we ever give is our time.

If you have someone in your life who notices what you don’t notice, who slows down when you speed up, who captures the moments while you’re busy creating them, that person is not in your way. That person is truly a gift.

Memories don’t have to be efficient.

Culture is one of the few things that cannot be successfully faked very long.
