I sat down with Joe Miller expecting to talk about wiring, generators, and building a service business—and what I got was one of the most powerful stories I’ve heard on Heart of the Hustle.

Joe left addiction behind in Louisiana, packed everything into a ‘95 Acura, and started over in North Texas. Today, he runs Glow Joe Electric, serving homeowners across Collin and Denton Counties with honesty, skill, and a whole lot of heart.

In this episode, Joe breaks down:

-The side gig that launched his electrical career

-Why portable generators are a smart move for Texas families

-What not to do when installing your own generator (seriously—don’t DIY it)

-His 12,000-hour journey to becoming a Master Electrician

-How he turned his comeback story into a business built on service and legacy

This one is for anyone who’s ever started over, built from the ground up, or wanted to use their hands to build something meaningful.
