Summary
When I see professional athletes, artists, and rappers, blow through their wealth and end up bankrupt, it reminds me that no matter what level of success you have achieved, there are mistakes to be made.
When Ricardo Allen of the Atlanta Falcons reached out to me about investing, it made me wonder why the majority of the leagues pros go broke, and how we can help stop the trend of bankrupt pro athletes.
We sat down and talked about what life in the NFL is like, and what needs to change in order to prevent players from making long term mistakes, for short term satisfaction.
