Joe Polish | Why Integrity Is Your Greatest Marketing Tool

What if the biggest breakthrough in your business… is the one you’ve been avoiding within yourself? In this episode, I sit down with my dear friend Joe Polish—entrepreneur, bestselling author, and founder of Genius Network—for a raw and powerful conversation about what it really takes to succeed, not just in business but in life. Joe doesn’t hold back. He shares the moment a mentor shattered his victim story and opened the door to radical ownership. We dive deep into how taking responsibility, mastering business fundamentals, and choosing ethical influence over manipulation can change everything. From overcoming addiction to redefining what it means to serve with integrity, Joe’s journey is as gritty as it is inspiring. Whether you’re just starting out or you’ve built something great and want to go deeper, this conversation invites you to reconnect with purpose, integrity, and resilience.
