His 2017 book, For Those Who Dare to Teach, takes an autobiographical approach to sharing insights and practical tips for teaching. His just released book, Alive with Joy reveals how to move from disconnection to optimal living. Through his former company, Exhilarated Performance, and currently as the Chief Joy Infuser at Adventures in Joy, Billy has provided over 500 dynamic presentations across North America to help people to Re-Charge.
