Meet Alexia Gallagher, the NFL's VP of Philanthropy - a podcast by The Football Girl

Melissa opens the show with some trepidation about the NFL season starting on time and the weirdness of on field NFL news these days. But she is fascinated by Cam Newton's landing spot and offers a couple of guesses.

Then Melissa is joined by NFL executive Alexia Gallagher who runs the NFL's philanthropic arm as VP of Philanthropy and Executive Director of the NFL Foundation. (Starts at 12:01)

Alexia breaks down the league's recent Draft-a-Thon, including whether it will become a permanent fixture in non-virtual drafts. She also discusses the potential perils of players starting a foundation out of the gate and how the league has evolved its philanthropic efforts.

Alexia also details her rise up the NFL's ladder and offers poignant management advice as she reflects on the traits that have catapulted her to success.
