On a very special episode of Digital Trends Live, DT’s live morning show, host Greg Nibler was joined by Marshawn Lynch, running back for the Oakland Raiders (and formerly the Seattle Seahawks, with whom he won the Super Bowl in 2013). Over the course of a freewheeling discussion, they talked about Lynch’s charitable foundation, Fam1st Family Foundation, his mobile network Beast Mobile, and a new football league where fans control the teams.

The Fam1st Family Foundation is a charitable organization that Lynch founded along with fellow NFL players Josh Johnson and Marcus Peters. They launched Fam1st in Oakland, but Lynch says “To be honest with you, it started in Oakland, but everywhere I went, it traveled with me.”

The organization’s goal is to help disenfranchised youth in the Oakland area.

“For people that grew up the way I grew up, and/or worse, it gave them an opportunity to go ahead experience some of the finer things in life,” Lynch explains, “which is being able to attend a football camp that you didn’t have to pay for. Most of the [stuff], when I was growing up, you had to pay for all of that.”

In addition, Beast Mobile, the mobile network that he owns a stake in, is working with Fam1st on the Phones for the Homeless initiative, which is working to provide smartphones and three months of service to homeless people on the West Coast.
