08/05/25: Youth Inc. Podcast Returns, Breaking Down Our Ambassador Network, Christmas in July

👏 The Youth Inc. Podcast Is Back, Kicks off with Tom Brady

Our Biggest Season Yet

The new season of the Youth Inc. podcast kicks off on Aug. 12 with an exclusive interview with Tom Brady. Olsen and Brady talk about everything from their youth sports journeys to their very public so-called rivalry after Brady took Olsen’s spot on the No. 1 Fox broadcasting team. Spoiler alert: it’s not a rivalry, the two are friends and have tremendous respect for one another.

After Brady the lineup of A-listers doesn’t slow down with Ryan Day, CJ Stroud, Malcolm Gladwell and Dr. Michael Gervais, Missy Franklin, Big Cat from Barstool, Bryce Young, James Clear, Clayton Kershaw, Mo Vaughn, Adrian Wojnarowski, Jenny Levy and more.

 “We have a lineup of heavyweights coming up, a who’s who in every corner of sports,” said Olsen. “You can’t get any bigger than Tom Brady and he had some incredibly insightful things to say about youth sports and his journey. Each guest brings their own unique perspective and they give practical advice on how to be successful.”

💡How the Youth Inc. Ambassador Network was Assembled

Top Tier Insight From Top Athletes

When Youth Inc. sought to launch a platform for athletes, parents and coaches, co-founder and president of media Tim Murphy sought out to find the Greg Olsen of every sport. 

Why ambassadors for each sport? The challenges in youth sports aren’t one-size-fits-all. The issues facing a girl in youth soccer are different from those facing a boy in youth wrestling or a kid just picking up tennis. The needs of parents, athletes and coaches vary—and the most useful advice lives at the intersection of expertise in a specific sport and deep knowledge of a relevant topic.

At the intersection of sport and topic lies insight. For example: What happens when you pair tennis great John Isner with Bryan Shelton—NCAA champion coach and father of rising star Ben Shelton—for a conversation about parenting young athletes? You get real, applicable advice for tennis families navigating real challenges.

"To my kids: You're my everything. Every choice I make, everything I do I carry you with me. You taught me more about love and patience and purpose than I ever learned about playing football or a playbook. I just hope by watching me today, you understand that anything is possible.”
