In this emotional and inspiring interview, Joe opens up about how he rebuilt his life, found strength in vulnerability, and ultimately discovered love through social media with his now-wife Jessica. The couple reflects on the confidence that drew them together, the journey they’ve walked side by side, and what it means to thrive after unimaginable loss.
