Episode 18 - Alex Erickson - Undrafted to Unstoppable - Turning Skills from an NFL Athlete to All-Pro Entrepreneur

from No Day Like Today · host Brandon Weigel

The skills that athletes aquire through years of hard work, discipline, and will-power are often transferrable to other aspects of life. That is just the case with Alex Erickson. In episode 18, Brandon and Kordell sit down with Alex, an undrafted free agent out of the University of Wisconsin, where he terrorized defenses as a wide receiver for the Badgers. In 2016, he signed with the Cincinnati Bengals and carved out a nine-year NFL career as a dynamic return specialist and receiver—racking up over 1,000 kickoff return yards in a single season, his first NFL touchdown against the Broncos, and stints with teams like the Chargers, Panthers, Commanders, and Texans. But Alex's story doesn't end with the final whistle. Now fresh off the field, he's channeling that same relentless drive into entrepreneurship and real estate investing. From small business ownership to building wealth through smart property plays, Alex is proving that the biggest wins come after the game. A Darlington Wisconsin native who's as grounded as he is ambitious, Alex breaks down the transition from pro athlete to savvy investor, the lessons from high-stakes plays on and off the field, and how anyone can score their own financial touchdowns.Have a property or business that you or someone you know is looking to sell or move on from?
