Joey Pinz Conversations
Discipline. How does it play a role in your life? How does it drive your decisions? Do you have too much or too little? Every profession, hobby, or passion requires a level of discipline. I have used it in weight loss (+130 lbs.), family death, and found a +25 year business. Am I an expert? Absolutely not! Please join me, as I speak to interesting people and find out how discipline affects their career, life, goals, and decisions.

Why I do this
What the show is about
How ordinary people use discipline to build a life they actually want — and what it costs them.
Why I keep asking
Because I am not the expert. I get better by listening to people who are nothing like me.
Chasing a bit more discipline? You're in good company.
Listeners come from everywhere — athletes, chefs, musicians, founders, parents, teachers and, yes, a few technologists. Discipline is the thread; the subjects are as wide as the people.
Health, Fitness & Wellness
Weight loss, athletics, healthy eating, jiujitsu, relationships, golf & soccer.
Business, Tech & Science
Growth, coding, AI, productivity, empowerment, sales & marketing.
What we talk about
Health & Fitness
I was once 340 pounds. A pre-diabetic diagnosis — and the thought of not seeing my daughters grow up — was my moment of clarity. Discipline, long-term diet, triathlons, and CrossFit turned me around. Now 200 pounds and always getting healthier.
Technology, Business & Science
Self-taught programming as a tween; founded a tech provider business in 1993. Tech trends, platforms, and gadgets — and how to grow while keeping customers, employees, and partners happy — intrigue me. Science is a beautiful branch of knowledge, especially where it meets technology.
Music, Sports, Film, Comedy & Art
My fondness for music began with my mother’s Beatles albums — a savant of 60s, 70s & 80s music and a hobbyist guitar player. I enjoy stand-up and the history of comedy, and passionately follow golf, soccer, and the major American sports.
Travel, Food, Family & Language
At ten, my father flew me alone from NYC to Naples to meet my Italian family. I’ve traveled much of the US and parts of Europe, and earned a private pilot license. I cook from scratch with an Italian slant, and often cook for friends and family.

Notes from the conversations — the kitchen, the gym, the record shelf and the office, in roughly that order.
