In this episode Joe riffs about his time in the NFL, what he learned along the way, and how the business side of the NFL took away his love for the game. He also breaks down when he knew it was time to step away, the loss of identity that comes with a profession that has come to identify who you are, and his new passion for heart-led leadership.
