315: Christian Ponder on Creating Community for Athletes Beyond the Game


Listen Later

Joe and Scott are joined by Christian Ponder, Former NFL Quarterback and founder of The Post. During this episode, Ponder discussed his personal transformation from a professional athlete to a thriving entrepreneur. He shares the path of establishing The Post, a networking hub and database for former college or pro athletes turned business people. The Post's objective is to offer a sense of belonging to athletes after their playing careers and to create a robust leadership network for individuals who have honed their soft skills through sports. Ponder stressed the importance of aiding athletes in their transition by developing a strong sense of community, which many often yearn for after retiring from sports.
