College athletes are earning millions before they’ve even graduated... but getting paid is only half the story. What happens when a life-changing amount of money arrives before you have decades of financial experience?
In this episode, Josh looks at the booming world of NIL deals and the financial lessons that apply far beyond college sports. From managing unpredictable income and resisting lifestyle creep to investing early and handling pressure from friends and family, sudden wealth can create just as many challenges as opportunities.
In this episode, you'll learn:
Why making more money and building wealth are two very different things
The multimillion-dollar NIL deals reshaping college sports
Why temporary income shouldn’t create permanent expenses
How starting to invest young can dramatically change your financial future
The financial pressure that can come from friends and family
Warning signs when you're pitched an investment or business opportunity
How the same lessons apply to bonuses, inheritances, commissions, business windfalls and raises
Whether you're signing a multimillion-dollar NIL deal or simply experiencing your best financial year yet, the real question is what you do with the opportunity while you have it.
