However, the podcast started gaining traction in 2016, and by 2020, he was the biggest podcaster in the world. He says he started his podcast "The Joe Rogan Experience" to enjoy chatting with his friends. However, Joe would experience his biggest success in podcasting. Joe is a Taekwondo champion and a double jiu-jitsu black belt under Eddie Bravo and Jean Jacques Machado. Joe met Dana White in Las Vegas in the late 90s and Dana convinced him to commentate on UFC fights due to his experience in martial arts. Joe attributes his success to his hard work ethic, and he remembers how he would work a full day on the set of Fear Factor and then drive to the Comedy Store for his stand up set. While Joe views himself as a comic, he got his big break on TV shows like "News Radio" and "Fear Factor." He moved to LA to pursue his acting career and chase his passion for standup comedy.
He lived for much of his early adulthood in Boston, moving to New York to pursue a career as a standup comic. Rogan attended the University of Massachusetts Boston, dropping out before his graduation to chase a career in comedy. His love for the competitive side of the sport led him to a national championship and a black belt by age 19. The podcaster took up Karate at 14, changing to Taekwondo at 15. Joe graduated from Newton South High School in 1985. Before eventually settling in Newton Upper Falls, Massachusetts, Joe's family moved from San Francisco to Gainesville, Florida.
Joe's parents divorced when he was young, and Joe says he remembers his father being violent with his mother during his early childhood before they split. His father was a Newark police officer, and the family moved around a lot when he was a child. Born on August 11, 1967, in Newark, New Jersey, Joseph James Rogan comes from an Irish and Italian family.
