Winning at the Money Game like a Basketball Phenom with Shawn Geegbae
Author/Founder of Winning at the Money Game, Shawn Geegbae, a former Wall Street commodities broker, loved the game of basketball growing up. As a student at Syracuse University, he began to write a book that connected the critically important skills in basketball to those required for financial stability and success.
During this episode, Shawn and Todd discuss ideas from Shawn’s book and how the game of basketball relates to the money game. Rather than trying to force confidence on players, successful basketball and money coaches know that confidence comes from developing strong skills over time. Shawn also shares tips and ideas for parents and friends that help to create an internal drive to succeed in the money game.
