From Doak Campbell Stadium to the ADS Boardroom | The P.T. Willis Story

What does it take to go from quarterbacking at Florida State, to playing in the NFL with the Chicago Bears, to becoming an FSU football announcer—and eventually leading a company?

On this episode of Boots On The Ground Ready, we sit down with P.T. Willis for a conversation about football, leadership, business, preparation, and the lessons that carry from one career to the next.

P.T. takes us behind the scenes of his journey as a quarterback, including his time at Florida State and with the Chicago Bears, and shares what playing quarterback taught him about pressure, preparation, decision-making, communication, teamwork and leadership.

Today, P.T. brings those experiences into his role as President of Advanced Drying Systems (ADS). We explore how the mindset of a quarterback—reading the situation, trusting your preparation, making decisions and leading your team—translates from the football field to the boardroom.

Same playbook. Different field.

We Tried to Manifest a Topic…Then Failed

Some episodes have a plan. This is not one of them.

We sat down determined to have a topic, tried to manifest the perfect conversation, and somehow ended up talking about divorce rates, lottery dreams, Florida weather, Gator football, the heat, manifestation, and The Secret — plus somehow managed to sneak in Insurance Talk into the conversation.

Is manifestation actually real? Can you think your way into a better life? Are we one lottery ticket away from proving it all works? And why does every conversation eventually turn into Gator football?

We don't have all the answers… but we definitely have opinions.

So grab a drink, turn up the volume, and join us for another completely unplanned conversation where the only thing we successfully manifested was a podcast episode.

We tried to manifest a topic… then failed. And honestly, we're pretty happy with how it turned out.

The Marine Who Took on the Insurance World

What happens when a Marine trades combat boots for claims, customers, and the unpredictable world of insurance?

In this episode we sit down with Jason Hisey, a former Marine and President of AMA Settlement Services in Tampa, Florida, who took the discipline, determination, and “never quit” attitude of the Corps and brought it into the insurance industry.

But before we get into the serious stuff… we have to survive the intro.
