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.
