Welcome to Simple Joe. I’m glad you’re here.

In today's episode of the Simple Joe podcast, we're getting into five Random Questions that take me down some interesting roads. We start with the surprising history of potato chips, a little Navy Day recognition, and some October 27 celebrations before I get into the questions. I remember the freedom of riding my ten-speed bike all over Cincinnati as a kid, talk about why I'd love to spend six months in Portugal, and look back on the friendships that made working at Ponderosa one of my favorite jobs ever. I also remember a boss named Mark who taught me that you can hold people accountable, have high expectations, and still treat them with kindness. And then there's my imaginary food truck, where pizza and soft-serve ice cream would definitely be on the menu. It's a conversation about independence, good people, great memories, and the experiences that stay with us. I'd love to hear how you'd answer these questions, too!

1. What was your first real taste of independence?
2. If you could live anywhere for exactly six months, where would you go?
3. What coworker do you still remember years later, and why?
4. What was the best boss you ever had actually good at?
5. If you had to open a food truck tomorrow, what would you serve?
