Joe is a strategist, AI expert and co-founder Concord, a community for human-first founders – something Joe knows a lot about.
In addition to co-founding his own community, Joe is Founder’s Associate to Ben Branson, working with him on The Pollen Project, The Hidden 20% Sylva and SEASN
Previously, Joe worked as a strategist and AI expert at Big Fish marketing agency, and before that worked alongside David Hieatt as part of the team here at DO.
Joe has a sharp eye for growth opportunities and clear, effective communication. From developing business models and marketing strategies to refining communication messages.
On weekends, you’ll find Joe training for his first triathlon in various London parks and pools. He also enjoys experimenting with fermenting in the kitchen, sharpening Japanese cooking knives, and playing guitar.
David and Joe discuss ways to rethink time, money and mojo.
Joe and Jon explore how technology is shaping the way we write, the shifting norms on LinkedIn, and how to stay human in the middle of it all.
Joe shared sharp, practical advice on finding inspiration, writing with clarity, and staying authentic: especially when it comes to reading the room (or the algorithm) on LinkedIn.
They also got into AI. How tools like ChatGPT are changing marketing and branding, what it means for how we think and learn, and whether it’s helping or hindering the creative process.
And just when you thought they’d covered it all, they dipped into self-driving cars and whether machines could ever be conscious. Nice.
