Who is Joe Rogan?
Joseph James Rogan, better known by his stage name Joe Rogan, is a 57-year-old veteran stand-up comedian and podcaster who has made appearances on a number of television programs, such as NewsRadio and Hardball. He is the creator of The Joe Rogan Experience podcast, which involves celebrities and well-known people talking about humour, politics, current affairs, philosophy, science, martial arts, and hobbies.

Joe Rogan’s Early Life and Education
Rogan had the most turbulent upbringing possible; he was raised in a setting where abuse, violence, and toxic masculinity were the norm. His father, Joseph Rogan, supported this, which caused his wife, Susan Rogan (now Susan Lembo), to go through a difficult marriage that ended in divorce.
Since his parents divorced when he was five years old, Rogan was raised by his mother and stepfather; the details of his early upbringing are not entirely clear. He said, “All I remember of my dad are these brief, violent flashes of domestic violence,” recalling all he could recall about the man. I don’t want to bemoan my upbringing, though. I never actually experienced anything negative. I’m not against the guy. When he moved to San Francisco, California, with his mother when he was seven years old, he lost touch with his father.
His involvement in Little League Baseball sparked an early interest in martial arts in him. He said that learning martial arts changed his outlook on himself and his ability and given him more confidence. “I felt certain that I could succeed at something challenging and something I was scared to accomplish. For me, that was very important. The first thing that gave me hope that I wouldn’t be a loser was martial arts. Thus, I tended to go towards it.
He began karate at the age of 14, and a year later he began taekwondo. At the age of 19, he prevailed in the US Championship Taekwondo competition as a lightweight. He went on to become a taekwondo instructor after being named the four-time Massachusetts full-contact state champion.
In 1985, Rogan received his diploma from Newton South High School. After that, he enrolled at the University of Massachusetts Boston, but left because he thought the school was “pointless.”

His program garnered millions of plays every episode in 2015, making it one of the most popular podcasts worldwide, according to reports.

For an estimated $250 million, he extended his contract with Spotify; but, this time, Spotify will not be the only party to the transaction.
