It's me talking about public again, obviously. Are you surprised? It is my favorite brokerage after all. By now you know Public is the only place I personally buy bonds. If you haven't heard my spiel, in the olden days, I would buy treasuries through the government website and it would always take forever. And also the branding was horrible. It kind of looked like the Toys R Us website back in the day. But with Public, it's simple and easy to invest in treasuries right from your phone. There are literally thousands of bonds to choose from on Public, not just government bonds, corporate bonds too. You can use Public for more than just your bond investments, of course. On public, you can invest in stocks, ETFs, options, crypto, and they even have a high yield cash account where you can earn 4.1% APY on your cash. And there's an exciting new offering on public that I cannot wait to tell you about. Now you can invest toward your future self through retirement accounts. On public, you can open a traditional IRA or a Roth IRA or both. I mean, why not?

Hey, Money Rehabbers, it's Morgan Levoy, the executive producer of the show. This week, you're going to hear three of our favorite episodes that Nicole taped before she went on maternity leave. And in honor of the Super Bowl, congrats to all the Eagles fans out there, we're going to play an episode that Nicole taped with NFL player turned financial guru, Brandon Copeland. Enjoy. Enjoy.

I like to think of Brandon Copeland as Troy Bolton from High School Musical, but instead of juggling basketball and musical theater, he's juggled football and finance. Brandon played for the NFL for 10 years on different teams, but his first and his last team was the Ravens, his home team. But before he was tackling competing NFL players, he was tackling investments at UBS. And even when he was at the NFL, he would run into the locker room to check his options trades. Seriously. Today, we talk about how he bucked the trend and turned his NFL money into real wealth, which he talks about in his new book, Your Money Playbook, which you can find in the episode description. Brandon also tells me how much he actually made his first year in the NFL and what he thinks of the new NFL private equity opportunities. Brandon Copeland, welcome to Money Rehab.
Thank you. Thank you for having me.

You graduated from Wharton, one of the most prestigious schools for business in the world. You had interned for UBS for a couple summers in college. So that was a job option. But instead, you went to play for the Baltimore Ravens. So how did that happen?
