Brandon Copeland, NFL player, entrepreneur, and philanthropist, joins the podcast to discuss his journey towards multiple streams of income and the importance of knowing your why in life. 

Through his dream of giving back to his community and having his money make more money, Brandon has been able to get out from under the “fickle” nature of professional athlete volatility and build a life he is passionate about. At one point, Brandon was also saving up to 90% of his NFL salary. 

With his wife Taylor, Brandon operates two real estate companies and Beyond the Basics Inc., a nonprofit organization helping young kids realize their true potential. He also teaches “Life 101” at his alma mater, the University of Pennsylvania, arming students with the knowledge to make confident money decisions.

Brandon, also known as Prof. Cope has played for the Baltimore Ravens, the Tennessee Titans, the Detroit Lions,  the New York Jets, the New England Patriots and currently plays for the Atlanta Falcons.

• Why you need to leave competition on the field and out of personal finance
• Navigating disappointments and rejections in your career
