Joe breaks down how he went from a โphotocopier boyโ with no clear path, to building a thriving international firm that helps businesses manage crypto, wealth, and compliance all with clarity and ethics.
๐ก In this episode, you'll learn how crypto accounting really works (without the hype), what it takes to build trust in a misunderstood industry, and how Joe scaled globally while keeping his family and team grounded.
