S9 Ep5. From the NFL Football to Founder with Ryan Mundy
After a successful career in the NFL (including a Super Bowl championship with his hometown team the Pittsburgh Steelers), Ryan Mundy was at a crossroad - what should he do with the rest of his life? Upon retiring, Ryan experienced depression and anxiety as he searched to find his identity after football and dove into a health and wellness journey of his own. Along the way, Ryan realized how beneficial professional help was to him during this time, and still is on a daily basis, spurring the start of Alkeme, a health + wellness platform focused on eliminating disparities within the healthcare system for Black individuals. Alkeme is democratizing access to health & wellness tools needed to empower, heal, inspire, and thrive today while improving generational health for tomorrow. With a platform that offers culturally centered therapist-led courses and expert guided mindfulness and meditation practices, Alkeme is striving to become a leading universal health and wellness provider for the Black community. On this episode of FOMO Sapiens, Ryan will tell his story, explain how he transitioned from football to the world of entrepreneurship, and talk about the challenges of building a business and raising capital as a first time entrepreneur.
