Former NFL WR Mark Clayton Discusses Founding A Headphones Company Through Kickstarter

Former University of Oklahoma standout and ex NFL wide receiver Mark Clayton retired from professional football in 2013 after a six-year career with the St. Louis Rams and Baltimore Ravens. Like other retired athletes, the 34-year-old Clayton has turned to entrepreneurship during his post-career life.

Clayton is currently running a startup company called LIVV, which is a wireless headphone brand designed specifically for athletes.

After Clayton’s headphones kept falling off during practices and workouts throughout his playing days, he wanted to create a better alternative to the traditional headphones. The creation of LIVV was born shortly after his retirement three years ago.
