  • Why Will Blackmon Got Into the Wine Business After the NFL | Ep. 6

He’s studied up and gotten his certifications, traveled the world exploring vineyards, and even developed his own concierge service. We spoke to the Rhode Island native about what he learned about business from Charles Woodson when they were teammates in Green Bay, the importance of a transparent financial advisor, and just how much LeBron James has done to make wine more mainstream.

  • How Vernon Davis Went from Winning the Super Bowl to Acting in Hollywood | Ep. 5
    As a tight end, Davis reached the pinnacle — winning a Super Bowl in 2016 with the Denver Broncos. At the helm of that team was legendary quarterback Peyton Manning, who Davis says taught him lessons he can apply for the rest of his life. Outside of football, the 38-year-old is an avid curling fan and investor, but his primary focus right now is acting. So far, he’s broken into Hollywood with a handful of roles in shows and movies and has shared the screen with stars like Morgan Freeman and Bruce Willis. All of it's given him a unique perspective on life after sports. For the full conversation, check out this episode of Front Office Sports original podcast My Other Passion, presented by Netsuite.

  • Why Former NFL Quarterback Christian Ponder Thinks Athletes Should Pursue Business | Ep. 4

That didn’t quite pan out and he spent the next few years bouncing around different teams before retiring in 2016. Life has only picked up for Christian Ponder since then and now he’s focused on The Post — a business community for athletes — and is incredibly passionate about helping athletes navigate life after sport.
