Why Ndamukong Suh Retired & What's Next
In this special episode, the mic gets flipped as NFL legend Ndamukong Suh joins No Free Lunch not as host, but as a guest: sitting down with the show’s producer, comedian Danny Sellers. Ndamukong opens up about his recent retirement from the league, the deeply personal timing of his decision, and how his journey as a businessman has been just as intentional—and intense—as his football career. From smart investments to tough lessons, they talk about the moves that set him up for life after the game–and a few that didn’t.Host: Ndamukong SuhExecutive Producer: Grace Piro DeliaProducer: Danny SellersEditor: David CaputoInstagram: @nofreelunchshowTik Tok:@nofreelunchshowhttps://www.youtube.com/@NoFreeLunchWithSuh-------T.

The Secret to Building Kevin Durant's Empire w/ Rich Kleiman
Ndamukong sits down with Rich Kleiman–a multi-hyphenate entrepreneur best known as NBA star Kevin Durant’s agent and business partner. Rich talks about how his early hustle as a bookie and music manager led him into the world of sports and, eventually, to his partnership with KD–with whom he’s founded Boardroom and 35 Ventures. He shares how his biggest breaks –across music, sports, and investing–ultimately came when he showed up as his true self, forged relationships, and figured out how to “move around the room".Host: Ndamukong SuhExecutive Producer: Grace Piro DeliaProducer: Danny SellersEditor: David CaputoInstagram: @nofreelunchshowTik Tok:@nofreelunchshowhttps://www.youtube.com/@NoFreeLunchWithSuh-------T.

Why Athletes Are Obsessed With Liquid Death w/ Mike Cessario
Ndamukong sits down with CEO of Liquid Death, Mike Cessario, to learn how he built one of the fastest-growing water brands in the world. Since everyone already drinks water, Mike decided to disrupt the category --using a witty brand concept, a can instead of a plastic bottle, and an ad that went viral before he even had a product to sell. He says getting "cans in hands" at games is what caught the attention of fans, athletes, and team brass.Host: Ndamukong SuhExecutive Producer: Grace Piro DeliaProducer: Danny SellersEditor: David CaputoInstagram: @nofreelunchshowTik Tok:@nofreelunchshowhttps://www.youtube.com/@NoFreeLunchWithSuh-------T.
