Dr. Myron Rolle

Dr. Myron Rolle

This year’s featured keynote speaker is Dr. Myron Rolle. Dr. Rolle is a former NFL safety, a Rhodes Scholar, and a neuroscience resident at Massachusetts General Hospital. A rare combination of experience in the fields of education, sport, and medicine, Dr. Rolle’s career has taken him from the football field to the front lines, as he currently works and volunteers to aid the hospital in the fight against the COVID-19 global pandemic.

The 2% Way is a  mantra that Dr. Rolle lives by which was instilled in him by his former coach at Florida State, Mickey Andrews. This belief permeates every aspect of his life – from practicing medicine to raising his family to encounters with friends or strangers to running his foundation – as he seeks 2% daily improvement in everything he does. Dr. Rolle will walk the audience through the highs and lows of this football and medical journey which started in the Bahamas to present day at Mass General Hospital/Harvard Medical School, all hoping viewers can take 2% of his message an apply it to some aspect of their lives.
