Professional athletes earn more money than most people will see in a lifetime, but their wealth can vanish surprisingly fast without the right guidance, relationships, and mindset. Whether you're a professional athlete, entrepreneur, or investor, building wealth requires far more than simply earning a high income or a big payday.
That's why I'm excited to welcome Devin McCourty to the podcast. Devin was a 1st round pick who spent 13 seasons with the New England Patriots and won three Super Bowls during one of the greatest dynasties in NFL history. Since retiring from football, Devin has transitioned into broadcasting on NBC's Football Night in America, the #1 primetime show on television for the past 15 consecutive years.
Devin is also a student and speaker at PAC (Pro Athlete Community), where he provides mentorship and helps athletes make smarter financial decisions and prepare for the next chapter in their lives.
In this conversation, Devin shares tough money lessons from navigating a career in the NFL and the importance of surrounding yourself with trusted advisors. We discussed the leadership principles that helped him succeed both on and off the field, including parenting, youth sports, and how competition can help build resilience that lasts far beyond the game.
In this episode, you’ll learn:
✅ The pressure that NFL athletes face after signing their first contract, and the myths about how much is spent frivolously.
✅ How athletes and entrepreneurs can avoid costly investing mistakes by building the right team around them.
✅ Why failure, competition, and adversity are some of life's greatest teachers both in sports and business.
