Strongoo Podcast
My name is Joe Donar, and my intention for this podcast is to help individuals to create action by opening up, being vulnerable, getting uncomfortable and having hard conversations. By learning how to act, we must first learn how to feel. This gives us the emotional resiliency to overcome any challenge that stands in our way. You can listen anywhere you get your podcast, and please rate and review if you enjoy what you hear. Thanks for your support and I am honored that I get to share my experience with you. Love happy my friends!
