Episode 4 - Anything Worthwhile Takes A While: A Talk About Discipline with Joe Temmplin

Host: Sam Adams

Guest: Joe Templin

Producer: April Munson


Join Sam Adams and Joe Templin for a compelling conversation that covers hard hitting topics of falling in love with working on yourself, maintaining consistency, in addition to pushing yourself to consistently choose the slightly harder thing to do. It is these topics that are sometimes hard for us to completely pour ourselves into when we are truly on the verge of evolving ourselves into the next level of who we are meant to be. 


Sam Adams is joined by Joe Templin to discuss:


  • Developing business strategies
  • Everyday excellence
  • The importance of consistency 
  • A mission to impact 
  • Falling in love with working on yourself 
  • Consistently choosing the slightly harder thing to do 



Joe Templin has led an eclectic life.

As one of six kids (the only normal one, he insists) growing up in a small town and spending time on the family farm, Joe’s parents (John and Barb) instilled a love of learning, the outdoors, and a healthy disrespect for authority while still simultaneously embracing traditional values of hard work and “love thy neighbor but mind your own dang business.”  This is Joe’s foundation.

He was severely asthmatic but through his work ethic and love of challenge has become a martial artist and ultra distance runner.  He had a speech impediment but has built a career around communicating.  This habit of overcoming limitations is a theme in his life and his writings.

Joe has three hooligans (Danny, Liam, and Colin) and is a very proud member of the Pi Kappa Phi Fraternity, having served multiple times as President of his local Foundation and Chapter Advisor.  He has also served on the local, State, and National levels for NAIFA, is a Cubmaster (worst one ever if you ask his boys), and is involved with his local Autism Society.  Serving others is important to Joe, because of how his parents raised him.

Joe loves the Yankees.  So of course he hates the Red Sawx…  Poke him during the World Series at your peril!
