In this episode, we sit down with Branden MacKinnon—former athlete, follower of Christ, and Founder of the Faith-Based NIL (Name, Image, Likeness) Sports Agency, Acts of the Athletes. Branden shares his compelling testimony of how God transformed his life, including his journey through sports, the struggles he faced, and calling into the world of athlete advocacy. We dive into the heart behind his agency, how faith drives his mission, and why helping student-athletes steward their platforms with integrity and purpose matters now more than ever. Branden opens up about what inspired him to build something countercultural in the competitive world of sports business—grounded in biblical values, character, and Christ-centered mentorship. Whether you're a student-athlete, a parent, or someone navigating purpose in a high-performance environment, this episode is packed with wisdom, practical advice, and encouragement to stay rooted in your identity in Christ while pursuing excellence. Let's Go!
