Built for Rebuilding is for individuals who have had something in their life shift...
A career ended. A business failed. An identity no longer fits. Or the life you built collapsed under the weight of today’s reality. You’re not looking for motivation. You’re looking for a way forward.

Joe Cullen knows that space intimately.

Over the course of his life, Joe has rebuilt after personal, professional, psychological, and public failure. His journey includes business success and collapse, justice involvement, homelessness, untreated bipolar disorder, severe depression, and the loss of identity that follows when life no longer fits the story you were living. What those experiences taught him is simple and uncompromising: rebuilding requires more than motivation. It requires dignity, truth, structure, and a system capable of producing real stability.

Joe does not write about rebuilding from academic theory or inspiration alone.
His work is grounded in lived collapse, informed by disciplined study, practical application, and therapeutic practice.

Built for Rebuilding is the framework behind that work.
This book is not about starting over… It’s about starting wiser.

Joe’s core belief is this: every person deserves the chance to rebuild a life strong enough to hold who they’ve become, and no one should have to do it alone.

Let's Talk Over a
Digital Cup of Coffee

Not sure where to begin? Let’s just talk.

This is a relaxed, no-pressure conversation to get to know each other. You’ll share your story, I’ll share mine, and we’ll see if there’s a connection.

And yes, if it’s before noon Eastern, I’ll have coffee in hand.
