From NFL Player to Money Coach with Jedidiah Collins

Welcome to this edition of Wine and Dime with Amy Irvine. In this episode, I have the pleasure of chatting with Jedidiah Collins. Jed grew up in a household of three brothers and one sister. He then became an NFL player, and was traded 12-times during that journey.  Luckily, it was early on in his career he realized that he needed to Pivot his Relationship with Money.  This journey then led him to becoming a financial planner and attain his CERTIFIED FINANCIAL PLANNER Designation.

Jed and I share in the mission to get education into the high school systems!   Jed has created a tool called “Your money vehicle”  The first 10 questions to ask on their journey, it is a 10 week financial literacy course that contains 35 short videos.  

You’ll hear about the 30-day financial literacy challenge (30 NFL players) coming out in July.

This was an incredible conversation with someone who shares my passion about financial education and literacy. So sit on back, enjoy your favorite wine, and enjoy the show!

Amy Irvine

As a kid, I always liked numbers. I would spend hours creating math problems and solutions. Whenever I wanted to play math teacher, my brother was forced to be my student! Given my love of facts and figures, it’s really no surprise that I chose a career where I work with numbers.

I believe that you can use your dollars and cents to create and live a meaningful life unique to your own dreams and desires. I started Rooted Planning Group because I wanted to offer financial PLANNING services. Our profession has a tendency to focus on “assets under management,” but I wanted to focus on the journey of your life (what I refer to in the podcast as your financial “vineyard”). I truly believe that, like wine, life and finances have different palettes that should be celebrated and not judged.

My journey as a business owner was not a direct path; it’s more of a long and winding road. Over the course of the past 30 years, I’ve worked in various financial services positions, but I’m most proud of the ensemble of women that I’ve brought together at Rooted Planning Group.

I am the author of Uncork Your Finances and the podcast host of Money Roots.

I also co-founded the Southern Tier Women's Financial Conference in 2014, an annual event dedicated to collaboration, networking, and financial education for women.
