Joseph is a father and young entrepreneur who has overcome significant challenges to achieve success. Growing up in the ghetto, his parents worked hard to provide him with better opportunities. Initially, Joseph dreamed of playing football, but when that didn't work out, he found himself joining a motorcycle club that was part of the 1%ers. Realizing he was on the wrong path, he left the club and started working as a bouncer at a strip club. Living out of a motel with a new child, Joseph hustled by selling water bottles on the side of the road, working at Six Flags, and doing security at the Aztec Theater. It was at a show where he met Matt Shoup, who saw potential in Joseph and extended a helping hand. This act of kindness was a turning point for Joseph, who decided to take accountability for his life and work towards a better future. After a grueling process, Joseph passed the test to become licensed to sell health insurance, marking the beginning of his hard work. Through persistent cold calling, he climbed the ranks in the health insurance industry. Inspired by his journey and the support he received, Joseph started a nonprofit organization called the Lions Den, a group of entrepreneurs supporting each other.
