Billy Joe Tolliver, 12-Year NFL QB, takes us WAY behind-the-scenes with two stories. Story one is about his affinity and love for legendary Coach Mike Ditka. The second story is an incredible description of what happened the day Joe was introduced to his new team upon being drafted. Let's just say that Billy Joe Tolliver had some fun that day.

Billy Joe Tolliver is one of a kind. This interview absolutely cannot be missed. Joe’s story will captivate you like it did me. With his humor and his 110% open and honest approach to every word he says, Joe shares his amazing journey of growing up in the small town of Boyd, TX with 800 people, many whom had houses with dirt floors. He also allows us into his childhood where he had a father with an incredible work-ethic, but, as Joe shares, a little heavy on the bottle, a loving mother with an incredible sense of humor and lastly, the day when all of his brothers and sisters all spent Thanksgiving day in jail.

While growing up was potentially dissimilar to many others’ experiences as a child, Joe didn't know any different until he headed off to College.  It is no secret that the work Joe put into both sports and the physical work he did in his job (as a teenager), in order to help make a living for the family, shaped his drive and mindset forever. A drive that ultimately dominated nearly every free second of his day to either work or play, paving the way for a 12-year career in the NFL.

Joe provides fantastic stories of the San Diego Chargers, his prominence in baseball including throwing 12 no-hitters in High School, and so many familiar names in sports: Mike Ditka, Jerry Rice, Bobby Beathard, Tommy Lasorda, Jason Sehorn, Trent Dilfer, Andre Rison, Quadry Ismael, and even commentary on the current NFL Playoffs* and quarterbacks such as Tom Brady, Colin Kaepernick, Russell Wilson and Peyton Manning. Joe shares his insights on what the one's role should be; as well as how to be a great parent and coach and the importance of practice and commitment. Simply said, this is a great episode with Billy Joe Tolliver.

Joe is a "throw back guy" and his brutal but open honesty is guaranteed to make a positive impression on all of Who Are You Nation! At the very least, I will assure you of one thing...you will laugh at almost every story he tells as Joe shares his narrative like no other guest to date.
