Episode notes
What happens when life changes the coverage on you? Former NFL player J.J. Birden built a nine-year professional football career after being told he was too small—and the lessons that kept him alive in professional sports became a framework for leadership, resilience, business, and life. In this episode of INsights & Straight Talk, Rodd Duff sits down with J.J. Birden, former NFL wide receiver, speaker, author, and performance coach, for a Real Conversation about what it takes to keep moving when the odds, circumstances, or even your own thinking seem determined to stop you. At 5'10" and roughly 157 pounds, J.J. entered a league built for bigger athletes and turned preparation, discipline, strategy, and execution into a nine-year NFL career.
