Listen Later

Today, Ryan Zauk sits down with NFL Player and UPenn Professor Brandon Copeland. Formerly on the Patriots, Jets, and Titans Brandon just signed with the Atlanta Falcons this past Friday! But this episode isn't about football - Brandon is MUCH more than a football player. See below:
- Penn Professor where he teaches “Life 101” every spring to educate students about the financial basics of becoming an adult. Think stocks & bonds, buying a home, credit 101, networking/brand-building, taxes, car payments, and more.
- He has since made this course available to the public, where he hosts lectures and guest speakers every Tuesday, and fosters an amazing Telegram community. You can learn more and sign up for the course here: life101.io
- Forbes 30 under 30 winner, motivational speaker, and noted brand consultant
- Columnist at Kiplinger + CNBC and is member of CNBC’s Invest in You Wellness Council with Acorns
- Serial private and public investor as well as real estate developer, having worked on 50+ homes
Brandon has always been focused on what he calls “the business of me” and has made it a life mission to share his lessons with others.
Ryan & Brandon discuss:
- Interning at hedge funds and bulge bracket banks since high school (7:30)
- What he teaches in ‘Life 101,’ how he got UPenn on board, and his unique final exam (11:50)
- How you can get involved with Life 101 and what he needs you to promise before you join (22:30)
