Show Notes

In this episode of From the Ground Up, Marc Weller and Matt Rienzo sit down with retired NFL lineman and businessman, Ryan Kuehl. From being told he was “too big for football” in high school, to playing at the University of Virginia, Ryan explains how it resulted in a 12-year career in the NFL. He stresses the importance of knowing your abilities, honesty, and the power of willing success to get to the top. Preparing for the transition to traditional work life, Ryan talks about getting his MBA during the NFL offseason and job insecurity. As a former Senior VP of Global Sports Marketing at Under Armour, Ryan describes his experiences of signing world-renowned athletes, like Jordan Spieth, and his current position as a Managing Partner of Chainable Corp. Stay tuned for part two of Ryan's story where the guys discuss what it’s like parenting athletes, the youth sports market, and more.
