    Episode 83: Coaching and Financial Literacy: Thinking About Retirement

    Episode 83: Coaching and Financial Literacy: Thinking About Retirement

    This week on The Coaching Journey Podcast we continue our discussion on coaching and financial literacy. Last week our episode focused on setting the foundations for your financial success, and this week we look at "what's next."

    401K...IRA...Roth IRA...SEP IRA, the word jumble can be confusing to many. We discuss your potential options when preparing for retirement, and things to look out for as you continue on your journey towards financial literacy! An important discussion that many coaches, especially younger coaches, should start to think about.

    Episode 82: Coaching and Financial Literacy...Wait, What?

    Episode 82: Coaching and Financial Literacy...Wait, What?

    Oftentimes coaches go on courses to learn the nuances of technical development, tactics, psycho-social development and much more. In a nontraditional job like coaching, however, what often gets ignored is financial literacy. Given the current crisis that the majority of the world finds itself in currently, I thought this would be as good a time as any to talk about my journey going from "get a new car on that salary" financially illiterate to a much better path today and how anyone can get started!

    For some, it may just be common sense. It may be what you've been doing already. For others, it may be some needed information that I have found many coaches, especially those starting off in the profession, don't receive yet desperately need.

Great podcast for grassroots coaches

I'm currently an U9s coach for a village team in the UK. Since discovering these podcasts recently I'm found them to be a great listen, full of thought provoking content and would recommend them to fellow grassroots coaches.
