A fine mix of the mid-Michigan business community joined us for the MBN Speaker Series Fall Sports Luncheon on November 11th at the Capital Regional International Airport, hosted in the Friendship Room near TSA in the main terminal.

If you’re looking for motivation, leadership insights, or a fresh perspective on excellence—this is the video to watch. 👉 Click to watch Todd Martin’s full keynote and conversation in the YouTube video shared below:

• Todd emphasized resilience as a foundation of high performance: in tennis and business, setbacks are inevitable — but it’s how you respond, adapt, and learn that separates champions.

• He stressed the value of team leadership and culture even in individualesque fields. As a former World No. 4 and Davis Cup champion, he showed how being a trusted leader and mentor builds long-term value beyond individual wins.

• Todd highlighted the importance of innovation and reinvention — transitioning from pro-athlete to CEO, mentor and business strategist, he described how staying curious and leveraging one’s legacy can create fresh opportunities.

• He discussed community impact and purpose — noting how he founded his youth-leadership nonprofit out of his early experiences, and how business leaders can strengthen their brand by intentionally giving back and aligning values with actions.

MBN was thrilled to welcome Todd Martin—Executive Leader, Keynote Speaker, Coach, and Retired Tennis Professional—as our featured guest. Attendees had the opportunity to connect, learn, and were inspired by one of the greats in sports leadership.
