NFL to Vanlife: Leaving the Dream & Redefining Success w/ Joe Hawley | TAF//07 The Ancient Futurist

    • Education

On this episode of the podcast, I sit down with former NFL player Joe Hawley. Joe has an inspiring story of deep transformation stemming from his decision to leave the dream in order to live the dream. After choosing to voluntarily leave the NFL to seek deeper purpose, he embarked on a mission of self-discovery that led him to plant medicine, meditation, community, vanlife, and much more. Unsupported by many of his teammates and loved ones, Joe's decision to leave behind the pro-athlete dream made little sense to those surrounding him. He listened to his heart, changed his internal definition of "success", and has no regrets. Joe is an all-around awesome human being and I genuinely enjoy his curious energy and our conversation.



Joe is a former NFL star who played for both the Falcons and the Buccaneers. After 8 seasons, he decided to walk away from the game, leaving him seeking purpose, identity and community. This transition propelled him on a journey of deep healing and self-discovery. He gave his possessions to charity, adopted a dog, and traveled nomadically in his van across the US for 2 years in search of an answer to the deeper meanings of life. This quest led him toward a wide array of healing modalities including yoga and plant medicine. He found his purpose through transformational wilderness expeditions that he hosts through his business, The Härt Collective. He is also an author, speaker, and host of a popular podcast called Life Beyond The Game.
