JOE RICHARDSON

Joe Richardson was born and raised in Los Angeles, California. He went from being an unappreciated rap star in junior high school to a published poet in high school. He got his first car on March 6, 1989, and could thereafter be spotted going to check out tapings of the Arsenio Hall Show after school. Joe turned his admiration of Hall into a college side gig as a comedian. He was a g-rated campus politician in the daytime and a PG-13 rated joke teller and emcee after dark. This led into his first foray into what became motivational speaking. Joe went to Northwestern Law School to "motivate" juries to render verdicts for his clients, but detoured several years after school into other areas, including teaching. While away from the law, he started speaking professionally, parking a website at joespeak.com and presenting on concepts such as self-esteem, leadership and conflict resolution. Eventually, he got his groove back, and now motivates audiences, readers and juries alike, and gets inspiration from his relationship with Jesus Christ, and his co-bosses, wife Joi and daughter Julia. They live by faith in Los Angeles.
Let's Go: 25 Inspirational Thoughts for Now is an audio off-shoot of Joe's e-motivate motivational e-mails. Talking on issues related to the "Core Considerations," How You Work, How You Act, How You React, How You Learn, and How You Cope, Joe speaks like a little leprechaun on your shoulder, giving you short, quick inspirational pointers that help you get through everything from your meeting at work to your meeting with your mom. Each pointer is only a couple minutes long, so flip to the one you need right now, just like your favorite song on your music CDs. Featuring live excerpts from Joe's speeches as well, "Let's Go" is a great inspirational "pick-me-up" for every listener.
