Former NFL quarterback and current behavioral healthcare CEO BJ Coleman joins Joe Pardavila to share how he made the leap from professional sports to leading high-performing teams and turning around struggling facilities. Drawing from his book The Pivot, BJ breaks down the transferable skills that helped him succeed off the field, including consistency, discipline, and preparation. He explains how “two and a half second moments” from his quarterback days apply to high-stakes decision-making in business, why failing faster accelerates growth, and what it takes to be a true turnaround leader. From managing front-of-house culture in healthcare to guiding organizations through change, BJ offers a candid playbook for facing life’s biggest transitions and coming out stronger.
