This week on Unscripted, Tyne Morgan and Clinton Griffiths bring the podcast to you from the 2025 MILK Business Conference in Las Vegas—where Tyne may or may not have tested her luck on the penny slots. Their guest: Mark Inkrott, former NFL tight end turned agricultural leader and Co-Founder of UpField Group.

In this episode, Mark shares how the same grit, discipline, and mental toughness that shaped his football career now fuels his work alongside dairy producers. He opens up about the search for purpose after leaving professional sports, how the dairy industry offered the sense of mission he’d been missing, and the family farm lessons—especially from his grandfather—that grounded his values from an early age.

From the constant pressure of competing for a roster spot to the daily resilience required on a dairy operation, Mark draws powerful parallels between two demanding worlds. He also reflects on entrepreneurship, community, and the meaningful work that helped him rediscover his drive after the NFL.

Join us for an honest, energizing look at the stories behind the headlines, and the people behind the stories—this time, with a little Las Vegas luck sprinkled in.
