Summary

I LOVED this conversation with my new friend Joe. Joe reminds us how radical curiosity can be, especially when we work to stay curious about the things we come face to face with every day. Joe shares a piece of his story of a time when he and his family were unhoused, living in a car. He’s going to challenge a lot of your ideas about homelessness and hopefully encourage you to find ways to support your unhoused neighbors. Joe is a mental health professional, a loving father, and a resilient community member. Class is in session. Let’s get curious! . . . . . Have a secretly extraordinary life?
