🎙️ New Episode From Bars to Jars: Joe Gallagher Jr.’s Redemption Story, Business Rebuild & Message of Hope | Real English Conversations | Speak Clearly & Confidently at Work
In this episode, Curtis interviews Joe Gallagher Jr., also known as Chef Giuseppe, a man whose story takes us from addiction, prison, and near-death… to building one of the fastest-growing specialty food companies in the Southern United States. Joe is the founder of Apastioli Specialty Foods, a faith-driven entrepreneur, and the author of From Bars to Jars: A Saucy Redemption Story. Once a rock musician in Grammy contention, Joe’s life spiraled after a traumatic accident, leading to addiction, lost family relationships, attempted murder charges, and total collapse. But Joe’s comeback is nothing short of extraordinary. Through sobriety, faith, and a simple act of service, sharing homemade sauce at a recovery meeting, he found his purpose. Today, his business is expanding across major grocery chains, and his message of redemption is impacting lives across the country. This conversation is about more than food or business. It’s about rebuilding your life from the inside out, turning pain into purpose, and proving that even the most broken people can become powerful healers. 📘 Grab Joe’s book on Amazon: From Bars to Jars: A Saucy Redemption Story https://www.amazon.com.mx/Bars-Jars-Saucy-Redemption-Story/dp/B0F6MWDQV8 🌐 Follow JOE!!! & Apastioli Specialty Foods: https://joegallagherjr.com/ https://www.apastioli.com/ https://www.facebook.com/joegallagherjr 🔥 Need to build communication confidence in English?
