Episode 9: For The Town (feat. Max Ornstil)

Max Ornstil is a former pro footballer who turned his life into an entire creative ecosystem. He played professionally with the Portland Timbers and Oakland Roots, and after stepping away from the game, he didn’t leave football — he redefined his relationship with it. He’s now the Co-Founder of Neighborhood Sports Club, a community-first platform blending futsal, fashion, film, storytelling, and physical space. He sits at the intersection of athlete, artist, and entrepreneur — having worked with the likes of NBA legend Derrick Rose and Bay Area rap icon Larry June — using creativity and culture to build something bigger than himself. Rooted in Oakland, powered by community, and driven by purpose. --- Want early access to episodes and exclusive perks?
