We’re Big Kids Now with Joe Alexander

By Joe Alexander

Joe is not your average Joe. Hence, I already started this by writing in third person for a more dramatic effect. All my life I felt like there was a bigger purpose as to why I’m here. Was it to make a podcast show? Most likely the answer’s no but hey, you need to start somewhere! Join me on this adventure through each chapter of outrageous stories, life lessons, comedic relief and maybe I’ll also throw in some not so wanted advice. We’re Big Kids Now, so be sure to follow & subscribe and don’t forget, always go with kind. Instagram: @TheJoeAlexander www.WereBigKidsNow.com
