How the f**k did Jed Collins go from the NFL to writing his own book about financial literacy? Today we’re talking with Jed about his journey from football to finance and all the lessons he learned along the way. Jed left Washington State University with an accounting degree in 2007. Unlike most of his business school classmates, Jed took that degree to go play seven years in the NFL. After he spent some time as a CFP, he realized that he wanted to do more to help the majority, not just the top 1 percent. Today, Jed is the Director of Financial Education program Rookie to Veteran, Brighton Jones and the author of the book, Your Money Vehicle. So what did Jed learn from his multiple position changes throughout his football career? And what was Mark Sanchez like in high school?

This week I am joined by former NFL and WSU Cougar, Jedidiah Collins. Jed authored a book called Your Money Vehicle, that is designed to teach personal finance. Our chat was brief, but filled with great gems. I look forward to collaborating with Jed again in the future.

The market is extremely volatile amid the Coronavirus pandemic. So much uncertainty! Should I sell what I have invested in the market? Should I buy more? Will this be like the Great Depression? What if it takes 20-30 years for the market to get back to where it was?

I asked my friend Jed Collins these questions. He's a Certified Financial Planner and a 7-year NFL veteran.
