Our Athletes Voice series gives athletes a forum to talk about how technology has impacted their careers and their lives away from sports. This week, retired All-Pro safety Tony Parrish talks about how he pivoted from playing to entrepreneurship, the evolving media landscape, and his role with Jungo TV.

In the early 2000s, when Tony Parrish was an All-Pro safety with the San Francisco 49ers, he would make appearances on the organization’s 49ers All Access program. The producer of that show, George Chung, happened to be a renowned martial arts expert, five-time world karate champion, and coaching consultant for the 49ers.
