Former NFL Pro Empowers Kids with Money Skills | Jedidiah Collins

Today, I’m talking with Jedidiah Collins. Jed is a former NFL player turned Certified Financial Planner.

The moment he got his first NFL paycheck was the moment he had already spent it! This interaction with money and his perspective of how he saw money woke him up to the reality that he was financially illiterate. Never in school nor in his family had someone explained to him how money works, let alone how to make it work for him.

This experience led him to founding Money Vehicle – an education technology company that’s transforming how people think about money and whose financial literacy curriculum has been used in 23 schools across the US.

In this episode, you’ll learn:

✅ Jed’s journey from being an NFL player to building an innovative education company that’s disrupting the way kids learn about money.

✅ How Jed transformed financial theories into practical money-making strategies, addressing the widespread lack of financial education.

✅ Principles for wisely managing your finances and effectively growing your wealth. Whether you’re trying to figure out what to do with your first BIG paycheck, or hunting down strategies on how to take your hard-earned wealth to the next level, these principles are foundational to success.
