Summary

Joe Hawley played offensive line for 8 seasons in the NFL before he sold most of his possessions, bought a van and started traveling the country. Joe is on a journey to learn, grow and connect with likeminded people. It's not always easy to discover What's Next in your life, but Joe seems to have it figured out.

In this episode, Joe and Eric connect in a way only two former centers can. They talk about: the biggest adversity Joe faced in the NFL, some of his favorite o-line room stories, weight loss tips from two former big guys, what led him to retirement and into his new journey and much more.

There are many valuable lessons from Joe about creating the life you want to live and how his story has inspired others.
