Discussing your financial situation can be uncomfortable. In this video, Brandon shares how he’s overcome those barriers to help coach others through the stress of making common financial mistakes.

Brandon Copeland may be best known as a professional athlete. But like so many people, he never got much financial education in the traditional schooling system. Knowing the impact this lack of knowledge can have on people both financially and mentally, he set out to make navigating financial decisions accessible to everyone. After graduating from the University of Pennsylvania’s Wharton School of Business, he created Life 101, a class he not only teaches at his former university but also made available to the public online.
