Fresh Perspectives

Adam DeVon Miller, founder and CEO of Good Game Foundation, joins the podcast to discuss how sports led him into the nonprofit world, the evolving role of professional athletes in creating social impact, and what's next for his organization.

As an avid sports fan and collegiate athlete, Adam experienced firsthand how sports can bring people together through teamwork, shared goals, and a sense of belonging. While competing in college, he began to see the power of sports beyond the scoreboard, including how athletes and fans consistently unite not only during major moments of crisis, but also around everyday causes.

This very idea inspired the creation of the Good Game Foundation, leveraging the unifying power of sports and the platforms athletes have into meaningful impact.

In this episode, Adam shares his journey into the nonprofit sector, discusses why athletes are uniquely positioned to build community and inspire action, and explains how sports can become a catalyst for lasting social change.
