## Resource

Joe Sib has fronted punk bands, founded a record label, and shared stages with comedy giants—but he didn’t always plan to become a stand-up comedian. In this episode, we talk about identity, reinvention, and what it means to start over (again and again). From long-haired punk rocker to clean-cut dad doing tight 5s, Joe reflects on how his past shaped his voice—and how comedy gave him a new way to connect.We explore the tension between personal style and public perception, how fatherhood changed his creative path, and why bombing on stage might be the best kind of teacher. A recurring theme throughout is timing—being in the right place at the right time, and knowing how to make the most of it. Joe’s journey is a case study in staying curious, showing up, and refusing to let one chapter define the whole story.Welcome to Splitting Hairs with Tab Salsman, the live video podcast where captivating conversations happen behind the chair. As a master hairstylist, Tab combines his passion for cutting hair with his love for deep, thought-provoking discussions. Step into a one-of-a-kind experience as Tab chats with fascinating guests while giving them a haircut, creating a relaxed and intimate setting for candid conversations. With no topic off limits, we dive deep into the hairdressing experience and beyond, exploring the stories, struggles, and triumphs that make us who we are.To keep up with Joe. follow the links belowhttps://www.instagram.com/joe_sibhttps://linktr.ee/joesib
