Finding yourself. 

Joe Hawley played Offensive Line in the NFL for 8 seasons with both the Atlanta Falcons and Tampa Bay Buccaneers. In 2017, after realizing his heart and body just weren't in it anymore, he decided to walk away. This decision left him feeling a wide array of emotions. Leaving the sport he spent his entire life playing— and without really knowing what to do next— he decided to explore his freedom for the first time.

That's when he decided to give everything he owned away to charity, bought a van, and hit the road on a trip across the country that completely changed his life. He traveled for almost two years exploring places all over the country; amazing national parks, beautiful scenic roads, and connecting with incredible like-minded people. But the most profound thing that happened to him during the entire experience— he found himself.

Now, he’s on a journey to inspire others to find themselves, through his writing, speaking, and coaching. 

He’s the Founder of The Härt Collective, an online community and group coaching program for former athletes, and is currently in the process of writing a book.

There's a particular drive that comes from a background in sports, a mindset forged in competition and discipline that doesn't just switch off when you leave the field. Success for the Athletic-Minded Man taps directly into that energy, translating the core principles of athletic performance into tools for everyday life. Host Jim Harshaw, Jr. understands that the same clarity needed to execute a game plan, the focus required in a critical moment, and the consistency of daily practice are the exact traits that define winning in business, relationships, and personal health. This isn't about finding more hours in the day; it's about applying a strategic, trained approach to all of it. Each episode feels like a conversation with a coach who's been in your shoes, addressing the real tension between ambitious career goals, being a present father and partner, and maintaining physical fitness without letting any single priority suffer. You'll hear practical discussions on management, self-improvement, and the mental frameworks that help you stop shortchanging the areas that matter most. The podcast moves beyond theory, offering actionable insights for men who aim to build a life of sustained achievement, where success is measured across the board, not just on a scoreboard.
