WHY NOT ALMOST THERE? | JOE’S STORY
“I had never run a long race in my life, but here I am, in the middle of the 2015 Chicago Marathon. I’m feeling fantastic, even thinking I could go double the distance.

Just being in this race was a mini-miracle. I had heart surgery and back surgery a decade earlier. I could barely stand back then, let alone run.

Nonetheless, I’m fired up and feel better than ever.

Then I see right in front of me— a sign that nearly stops me in my tracks, NOT ALMOST THERE. I try to brush it off but can’t stop thinking about those words. Every step seems heavier, harder, and then I start cramping up. I begin to walk and complain inside and out. I struggle the entire second half but finish (barely) with everything I have after being physically and mentally crushed.

I have never stopped thinking about that sign but that’s fueled a quest to understand the power of the mind, body, and spirit. To understand how we accomplish things. To understand how we become better in the race against time and ourselves.” - Joe Chura

Joe Chura is an entrepreneur who went from Ford's Chicago Assembly Plant, studying his college textbooks every 15 seconds between building cars, to creating two of the fastest-growing companies in America. Both companies were sold in 2018, marking one of the largest tech transactions of the year. Under Joe's leadership, both companies have since tripled in growth, surpassing $115M in yearly revenue.

He's since expanded his endeavors to include real estate, investing, health and wellness, and creating the Not Almost There Podcast aimed at helping others see their potential.

Joe's latest adventure is changing how we think about alcohol by developing one of the first non/low-alcoholic taprooms and manufacturing plants in the country—Go Brewing. He is also a philanthropist sitting on the board of several charities. In his free time, he enjoys spending it with his family and training jiu-jitsu.
