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.
