Being rich with a lot of money today leads to poor wealth when there is an inability to take your money today and manage it for the future.

In today's Better Wealth Episode, I interviewed Jedidiah Collins former NFL player, best-selling author, podcaster, and financial player. Jedidiah shares with us his story of overcoming failure in multiple areas of life and how he grew through that failure. Listen as he discusses “stealing” mindsets, principles and behaviors that took him from veterans that gave him success in what he now calls “Rocky to Veterans.” Listen as he discusses the transition from the NFL to financial. Jedidiah attributes the off season years of financial education he sought after to discover the language and secret of the wealthy, which lead him to become an investor. While playing in the NFL and pursuing financial planning Jedidiah saw how people were lost in the idea of being rich, having money today, and didn't realize how to manage towards tomorrow or the future. Jedidiah grew a passion beyond traditional financial planning which led him to write a book, develop a course, and educate and empower thousands.  Jedidiah shares with us a brief overview of his book and explains his ice cream scoop tax example.

Guest Bio: 

Jedidiah Collins CFP® is a former NFL player, Amazon best-selling author, podcaster, and adjunct professor at Washington State University who after being cut 12 times became the #1 Fullback in the NFL. He took many principles and behaviors away from the game of football but was also faced with the reality of how unprepared he was for the financial opportunity of professional sports. This dilemma drove him to study for his Certification in Financial Planning while he was still playing in the NFL.

 Transitioning away from football, Jed knew he would pursue real life experience with his CFP ® and went to work in Wealth Management. Although a great career, Jed quickly discovered helping the wealthy was not his passion. His passion was delivering financial wellness workshops for those at the beginning of their financial journey, not the end.

 The Money Vehicle workshops, best-selling book Your Money Vehicle, and virtual course are on a mission to empower young professionals how to U.S.E. money (Understand, Strategize, Efficient).
