On this episode of the Beyond the Helmet we are joined by 9 year NFL veteran, speaker, author, and entrepreneur, JJ Birden.

JJ had his work cut out for him at 5’10” / 157 pounds. It didn’t stop him from walking on to the football team at Oregon where he was on a track and field scholarship. He worked his way into being drafted by the NFL. With world class speed, he worked for 2 years on practice squads before getting his break with the Chiefs where he had the bulk of his career. 

The mindset he honed to and through professional sports prepared him to be successful off the field. Birden has gone on to be a successful entrepreneur in multiple businesses on top of being a successful author and public speaker. Clips of his different keynote speeches can be found at jjbirden.com and they all stem from the success he has been able to create time and time again.

Check JJ out on social media and be sure to give us a follow + share this episode with someone who will enjoy it.
