Joseph grew up in a family of entrepreneurs and small business owners. At a young age he showed an affinity for entrepreneurship, and in college, he not only started his first company - but sold it a few years later.

Joe is part of the no-code movement that is happening in tech. The no-code movement, in its essence, is a way to democratize coding - which in itself, only a small percentage of people across the world can do.

This movement led Joe to create Universe, the first app dedicated to building websites via no-code and no templates. Joe says this is the easiest way to make a website.

With the trust of GV (Google Ventures) behind them, by the way of a $10 million raise, Joe and his team are creating a new way to build platforms.

Joe and I got into a great discussion about tech, its massive advantages, and some disadvantages, the responsibility tech giants have - and, the endless possibilities Universe holds.

I had a great time chatting with Joe, and getting a glimpse into how he sees things. I also learned, funny enough, that we are actually neighbors. It's a small, small world.

My Take - We should always be open to looking at things in different ways, what we thought was sketched in stone is often a body of water changing its structure. New ways of thinking are always out there and often met with criticism, people are wary of the unknown. However, our ability to adapt and change is the foundation of human evolution - we must cherish it.

Enjoy the episode.
