Myles Sr., Founder and Chairman of the Minor Football League (MFL), joins the Sports Business Leaders Podcast to share his vision for creating opportunities beyond the traditional football pipeline. After playing in the NFL, Dr. Myles launched the MFL in 1993 with a mission to develop athletes, future coaches, front office executives, and community leaders through what he calls the "Laboratory of Change." In this episode, Dr. Myles discusses the inspiration behind building the nation's only professional developmental football league, the challenges of turning a decades-long vision into reality, and why every athlete should prepare for life beyond the field. We also explore the changing landscape of college athletics, NIL, entrepreneurship, leadership, and the importance of persistence when building something that doesn't yet have a blueprint. Whether you're passionate about football, sports business, or entrepreneurship, this conversation offers valuable lessons on resilience, purpose, and creating lasting impact both on and off the field.","meta_description":"Dr. Richard D.
