Jim Everett, third overall pick in the 1986 NFL Draft, former Los Angeles Rams quarterback, and Purdue legend, joins Jim and Bobby to share the financial journey he built after football.
From running his own registered investment advisory firm to holding Bitcoin since 2014, Everett offers a rare look at wealth building from an NFL quarterback's perspective. Jim Everett, who has held Bitcoin since 2014, says he won't recommend a fixed percentage for anyone's portfolio, but believes if you don't hold any Bitcoin at all, you're making a mistake.
