On July 17th, Malcolm Jenkins, a figure synonymous with excellence both on and off the football field, graced the stage at The Legacy Club in Cherry Hill as the featured speaker for the TD Executive Series, presented by the Chamber of Commerce Southern New Jersey (CCSNJ). Moderated by fellow teammate, Super Bowl champion Marques Colston, the event drew a crowd eager to gain insights from Jenkins' storied career and life beyond football.
As a two-time Super Bowl champion, three-time Pro-Bowler, and first-round draft pick, Jenkins has a resume that speaks volumes. But it's his post-NFL pursuits that captivated the audience—his transition from elite athlete to a key player in the realms of business and social advocacy. Since retiring after 13 memorable seasons in the NFL, Jenkins has not slowed down. As a successful entrepreneur he has seen the blossoming of his business ventures and investments in media, tech, custom apparel, quick service restaurants and real estate under the banner Malcolm Inc. including Listen Up Media, DAMARI, Disrupt Foods, E & R Real Estate, and Broad St. Ventures, and actively participates in societal change through the Players Coalition, which he co-founded to tackle racial and social inequality.
His book, *What Winners Won’t Tell You: Lessons From a Legendary Defender*, lays the groundwork for his philosophy on success and influence, themes he delved into during his talk. At the heart of his message was the role of his charity, The Malcolm Jenkins Foundation (TMJF), founded in 2010, which embodies his commitment to empowering youth in underserved communities through education, advocacy, and empowerment.
The session resonated with themes of perseverance, leadership, and the importance of giving back, reflecting Jenkins' ongoing journey from a legendary defender to a champion of community empowerment.
