About the Episode:

In this episode of Inspired Changemakers, Julia Healey welcomes back Hannibal Navies, Vice President of Development for United Charitable and Athletes Charitable, for a conversation about philanthropy, social entrepreneurship, and building a legacy beyond the game.

A former NFL linebacker with a nine-year career spanning the San Francisco 49ers, Cincinnati Bengals, Green Bay Packers, and Carolina Panthers, Hannibal has dedicated his post-football career to helping athletes and communities create lasting impact. Drawing on his experience with The Trust powered by the NFLPA, founding 360° Sports Academy, and leading athlete-focused philanthropic initiatives, he shares why giving back is more than charity—it's an opportunity to build purpose, leadership, and sustainable change.

Julia and Hannibal discuss the evolution of Athletes Charitable, the growing influence of NIL in collegiate athletics, why philanthropy should be viewed through the lens of social entrepreneurship, and how donor advised funds and fiscal sponsorship are helping athletes turn their passions into lasting community impact.

Whether you're an athlete, nonprofit leader, advisor, or someone looking to create meaningful change, this episode offers an inspiring look at how purpose-driven leadership can leave a legacy that extends far beyond a career.
