From addiction and prison to purpose and impact — this is a redemption story you won’t forget.

In this episode, Curtis sits down with Joe Gallagher Jr., also known as Chef Giuseppe, a former Grammy-nominated musician turned faith-driven entrepreneur, author, and founder of Apastioli Specialty Foods — one of the fastest-growing food brands in the Southern U.S.

Joe’s story begins in darkness: a traumatic accident, a spiral into addiction, broken relationships, attempted murder charges, and years lost behind bars. But through sobriety, faith, and a simple act of service — sharing a homemade sauce at a recovery meeting — Joe began to rebuild his life and reconnect with purpose.

Today, his business is expanding into major grocery chains, his book is inspiring lives, and his message is clear: “Even the most broken people can become powerful healers.”

✅ How Joe went from prison to purpose
✅ The connection between redemption and entrepreneurship
✅ How sharing your story can heal others
✅ The power of faith, service, and second chances
✅ What Joe’s journey teaches us about communication, identity, and resilience
✅ Why speaking your truth is the first step to becoming who you’re meant to be

This is more than a food business story — it’s a raw, honest, and empowering conversation about rebuilding from rock bottom, overcoming shame, and learning to lead with love.

• Anyone navigating recovery, reinvention, or big personal change

• Global professionals learning to speak confidently and authentically

• Entrepreneurs, educators, and language learners looking for real inspiration

Whether you're learning English, launching a business, or trying to reclaim your voice, this episode will lift you up and remind you what’s possible.
