A great listen from co-founder Brandon Cullen in his recent conversation with Rob Finkelstein on the Athletes to Entrepreneurs: The Alumni Journey Podcast as they discuss the side of sports that doesn't get as much attention: what happens when the game ends, covering topics like how challenging the identity shift can be for athletes, the gap in support systems, and why it’s crucial to build a network. Brandon's own path post-athletics led to his founding MADabolic, so perhaps it's no surprise we believe athletes are uniquely equipped for entrepreneurship and franchising.

I recently sat down with Rob Finkelstein on his podcast Athletes to Entrepreneurs: The Alumni Journey Podcast to talk about the side of sports that doesn't get as much attention: what happens when the game ends. We dug into some pretty raw topics—like how challenging the identity shift can be for athletes, the gap in support systems, and why it’s crucial to start building a network early on. I shared my own path from the athletic world to co-founding MADabolic and why I believe athletes are uniquely equipped for entrepreneurship and franchising. We also covered why community and connection are vital for athletes in transition and offered a fresh perspective on sustainable fitness for aging athletes. It’s a conversation about resilience and leveraging the skills we develop as athletes to thrive beyond the rink (and/or field).
