PRAISE FOR JOE
“I have had the honor of being in Joe’s world now for going on 4 years. We connected on a heartfelt love of meditation and music.
I watched with awe as over the years I have known him, he continues to expand and grow his platform for sharing his message, fusing his experience, gift of music and loving heart to create space for transformation and change in people’s lives.
As a best-selling author, podcast and radio host, and speaker myself, I am moved by the heart driven motivation of Joe to use the platform of speaking to share and add to people’s lives. All too often, people are led by selfish motivation to be “on the stage.” By contrast, Joe continues to hone his craft and show up, from a viscerally experienced place of love.”
“Experiencing Joe as he weaves his magic from stage was such a gift! He masterfully brought us through some of his most potent and personal moments, letting us peek behind the curtain and connect to his ginormous heart! Joe’s vulnerability and bold truth telling stood out to me and left me feeling inspired and hopeful. A gem of a man, an animated and thoughtful storyteller, and a great songwriter to boot! If you have the chance, go see Joe! You will leave with your heart cracked open and a smile on your face.”
“Joe is one of the most interesting people I’ve had the pleasure to meet in my life. His life story is out of a movie and I only wish I had more time with him to learn even more about him and his wisdom. I hope I get to see him speak on stage, I know it will be an unforgettable experience!”
“I am a photographer and I photographed Joe for his marketing material.
Joe is a compassionate man with an interesting story. He will be a delight to have as an inspirational speaker at any event.”
“Joe Hartman is a teddy bear with a beard! He is a true gem. Joe is a human who walks his talk (and sings his songs!). The world is a better place with Joe in it – and he is truly all ‘heart’!”
“Joe Hartman, a man with a beautiful heart and a fantastic hug. I met Joe at a meditation retreat in Portland nearly a year ago. He is a regular volunteer to these retreats, and he functions as a support to the meditation team leaders and the group he is assigned to. Lucky for me, he was assigned to my group. I remember being immediately drawn to Joe’s open-hearted stance and presence. After each meditation I would seek him out for a hug as a means to come back to earth. I look forward to seeing him at many more retreats and deepening my understanding of meditation, life, and how to live as a fully embodied, loving human being. Kinda like Joe. “
“Joe Hartman — I think Joe should be called Joe Heart – man! He not only sings the most amazing songs but can really help you on your journey to unlock the secrets of higher being in a loving, caring, and fun way. Somehow he not only embodies but is able to transmit these higher frequencies of love and positive transformation. If you are lucky enough to have a chance to hear him or work with him, do not miss the oppor-tune-ity!”
“You are in good hands with Joe Hartman! I have known Joe for several years now as a friend and fellow musician. As well, having observed him at events where he is of service as a volunteer, I can unequivocally vouch for his sincerity and integrity. Whether he is being of service speaking, teaching or performing, you will be fortunate to experience and benefit from his heartfelt message!”
“While I have not heard Joe Hartman speak to a large group, I have had the pleasure speak with him in person, and to see him interacting with others. Every interaction I have witnessed has been loving and lighthearted. Joe’s heart is so big and filled with Divine love. He is a blessing to all whom he encounters.”
“For an interesting perspective on Life on the Road, as well as life in general, and a unique perspective on humanity, my friend Joe Hartman is a treasure of information and a charming speaker.”
“In the four plus years I have known him, I have seen Joe transform from a somewhat shy and awkward “regular Joe” to a confident, outgoing, heart-centered expression of Love. Coming from a place of love, he is not afraid to show all aspects of his heart and emotions as a man, which is challenging for most men to do in this day and age, but is so important, and is a great point of teaching for young men today.”
“Joe is a bright light. His honesty, kindness and commitment to wholeness is truly inspirational. The journey of humbly waking, then walking into the meditation of daily life is no small feat. To do this and be devoted to live a life of love is an even greater commitment. It is a joy to have friends and colleagues like Joe, to walk beside us on our path of heart, as we paradigm shift together co-creating a brave, beautiful new world.”
“In my interactions with Joe I have found him to be dependable and wise. A truth seeker writing lyrics that capture the wisdom of a generation.”
“I have known Joe Hartman since the days we learned how to build campfires and ride bicycles. Since that time, Joe has fearlessly embraced change and growth and hard work. He grew up in Berkeley, CA, when it was the epicenter for new ways of thinking. He then blazed his own trail, first to a farm on the East Coast where he mastered the plow, then as an entrepreneur, and lately as a vagabond road warrior gathering life lessons and friends along the way. In all that time he has maintained the highest standard of honesty and forthrightness.”
“Joe Hartman, a loving nomad, on a magical journey of self-discovery. The open road is his cure, his tool for inner work but also a blessing for the souls that cross his path. His light, his big Heart, his wit, his music and compassion are inspiring and contagious.”
“Joe Hartman is a sage. He is authentic and has lived an expanded life, exploring & experiencing all facets of the human condition. When we worked together I was struck by his integrity and the compassion and kindness he showed for everyone involved with the project.”
“I have known Joe since the late 1980s and had the pleasure of working with him though the 2000s and up through 2014. He is a man with high personal integrity and affinity for his fellow man. His communication skills are natural and heartfelt. He is a very likable person and a good friend. He is a genuine, compassionate, competent, individual who can be trusted to have the best interests of his audience at heart.”
“Joe Hartman thinks outside the box. When I express my thoughts and feelings to him, he often has a very different and unique perspective on the issue that I never thought of. When it comes to personal growth it is important to have our concepts and interpretations of events and emotions challenged. It is only by pushing our boundaries that we can move out of our habits and conditioning into a better, happier self. Joe Hartman helps us to do this in a gentle and loving way.”
“Joe Hartman has a true love for life. It comes through so clearly in his service to others. He is one of the rare men in this world with an open heart, as suggested by his name. “
“I met Joe on the internet, and I follow him on his journeys. His posts move me to new adventures with enthusiasm for love of life moments. I saw one day he was traveling near my home here in Southern California. He unfortunately broke down and needed assistance and I was so glad to go and help him on his journey and to finally meet him. Joe is a wonderful kind man in person, as well as a master of warmth and wisdom. I am glad to have Joe as a Friend.”
“In all the years I have known Joe Hartman, he has been an inspiring presence. His insightful nature, creativity, humor and enthusiasm combine to unleash a new and fresh perspective for the world. Devoted to sharing his knowledge and light with others, Joe brings a contagious joy to those who experience him. As a natural communicator offering a lifetime of wisdom, Joe eloquently delivers his teachings and will make an authentic impact on your life.”
“During the 4 years I’ve known Joe, we‘ve studied and discussed the life changing benefits from choosing to live in a state of love over fear.
More importantly, he is a living example of it.”
“Joe is a heart centered, insightful and entertaining speaker with thought-provoking ideas who does a terrific job of engaging his audience. He knows how to deliver so the audience will welcome his ideas and knowledge, and his experience backs him up.As I joyfully enjoy listening to him, my mind expands and my heart grows.”
