In our very first episode, The Inner Circle Podcast goes behind the curtain of the NFL with voices you won’t hear anywhere else: Aaron Donald (3-time Defensive Player of the Year and 10-time Pro Bowl defensive tackle), Matt Ryan (NFL MVP and 4-time Pro Bowl quarterback), Todd France (NFL super agent with more than 25 years of experience and nearly $7 billion in negotiated contracts), and Zach Klein (Murrow Award and 5-time Emmy Award-winning sportscaster) come together to cover every corner of the game.

From training camp stories and game-day rituals to balancing family life and navigating the business side of the NFL, this debut episode has it all. Matt opens up about transitioning from quarterback to media, Aaron talks about his relentless film study and life after football, Todd reveals what it’s really like to be an agent on call 24/7, and Zach shares how credibility and accountability shape the media’s role.

The conversation is funny, honest, and unfiltered, from Aaron sneaking out of team hotels as a rookie, to Matt’s very first pass going for a touchdown, to the pressures of postgame interviews and sudden roster moves.

Whether you’re a player, a fan, or just curious about what life inside the NFL is really like, this episode sets the tone for a podcast that delivers perspectives from every corner of the game.
