Malcolm Jenkins, two-time Super Bowl champion, New Orleans Saints safety, and Broad Street Ventures co-founder, joins Ros Gold-Onwude on the latest episode of Risk/Reward, presented by Goldman Sachs.
Jenkins breaks down how the NFL has changed during his playing career and the ways in which pro athletes are now seeking ownership and equity in brand deals as well as how he’s evolved his off-field business to be as premium as his on-field game. From accepting a Harvard fellowship to study the wealth gap between Black and white Americans to transforming that work into a forthcoming documentary with his production company, Listen Up Media, Malcolm discusses how all aspects of his business feed into one another in his effort to help himself and others create generational wealth.
Jenkins also discusses the importance of his work with Broad Street Ventures, a purpose-driven VC firm focused on tech and consumer products, and how he’s working with Black athletes and entertainers to give more Black people access to a meaningful venture capital pipeline.
