Welcome to another episode of Coffees. What's up, Justin? How are you, bud?
Justin Colby· Guest0:31
Good, brother. Thank you for having me on, man. Excited that I finally get to meet my long-lost brother, as we were able to- I know, Joe ... find that out after. Off, off-camera, we were like, "Bro, we are the same person."
Joseph Shalaby· Host0:41
Yeah, dude, so many mutual connections, so many, uh, invested in the same thing, and, uh, you know, very, very similar personalities. And- Yeah ... it's just an absolute pleasure and a blessing to have you on today's show. You are a legend in, uh, your own right. You've done a lot, a lot for entrepreneurs. You continue to innovate and, uh, you know, you just continue to be an inspiration to so many. So thanks for jumping on today's show.

So I take that part pretty seriously. I had to mature a little bit to understand the power of your morning, but I would encourage any listener, uh, I'm 44, if you're younger than me, take this seriously. If you're older than me, I would tell you the same thing. So I try to wake- Bro, I'm 44 too.
