This Former Super Bowl Champion Built a Platform to Support Mental Health in the Black Community
“My whole life was built around football,” Ryan Mundy, Super Bowl champion and Alkeme founder, tells Entrepreneur, “and when you can’t do that anymore, you have to figure out, Well, who am I? And that’s a really, really big question to answer.”
