The Power of Perseverance with Joe LaSorsa

Down 'n Dirty with Michael Julian

Today, we have a real treat as we sit down with my good friend and esteemed executive protection professional, Joseph LaSorsa Jr. from LaSorsa Associates and Executive Support Logistics. While Joe keeps a relatively low profile in the industry, he opens up about his life's journey and the core values that drive him both professionally and personally.

In this candid conversation, Joe shares insights into the EP world, including the importance of continuous learning, servant leadership, and making a positive impact on those around you. He reflects on the weight of carrying on his father's legacy in the family business, and the struggle to let go and trust his team as the company grows.

The discussion takes a personal turn as Joe provides a rare glimpse into his life outside of work. From being a devoted family man raising triplet daughters, to his simple pleasures of boating, fishing, and enjoying cigars in his waterfront home in North Carolina. Joe's humility and even-keeled nature shine through as he shares anecdotes that reveal his priorities of work-life balance and quality family time.

Michael and Joe also touch on deeper subjects - overcoming egos early in their careers, the value of mentorship, and developing resilience in an ever-changing world. Their friendly banter and mutual respect create a warm atmosphere as they discuss everything from career sacrifices to their favorite drinks and clothing choices.

It's an insightful, candid, and at times lighter episode that reminds us of the importance of living with purpose while still enjoying life's simple pleasures. So settle in, pour yourself a drink, and join us for an unfiltered look into the world of the respected professional, Joseph LaSorsa Jr.
