How College Athletes Are Really Managing NIL Money (Joshua Raymond, FSU Football)

How College Athletes Are Really Managing NIL Money (Real Talk from Joshua Raymond, FSU Football) ‪@teamcounsel‬ In this episode of the Ba Podcast Guys, we dive into the real conversation around NIL money and how college athletes are actually managing it behind the scenes. With NIL deals becoming a major part of college sports, many young athletes are earning serious income for the first time in their lives, often without clear guidance on taxes, budgeting, or long-term planning. Our guest, Joshua Raymond of FSU Football, shares candid insights on receiving NIL payments, resisting reckless spending, and building a sound financial foundation early. Alongside experienced Financial Advisor Dan LaForest, who breaks down the realities of NIL income, common mistakes college athletes make, and why having the right team and mindset matters more than the money itself. This conversation goes beyond sports. It touches on personal finance, financial literacy, investing basics, tax planning, and how young earners can think like business owners instead of short-term spenders. Whether you are a college athlete, student, parent, or simply interested in money management and wealth building, this episode offers practical lessons that apply far beyond the field. If you want real talk, real experiences, and real financial education without hype, this episode is for you. ➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖ Timestamps: 00:00 – College athletes & money mistakes 00:44 – Podcast intro & guest Josh 01:24 – Josh’s football role & strengths 01:58 – Beating Alabama experience 03:40 – Discipline & NIL balancing act 05:19 – NIL money & financial risks 07:39 – Building a business with NIL 11:53 – Compound interest explained 15:39 – Managing monthly NIL income 24:43 – Advice for young athletes ➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖ 📈 Welcome to Best Advice Podcast Guys!
