Emmitt Smith & Son on the Problems with NIL, the Rise of Gambling & the Need for Financial Literacy

NFL Hall of Famer Emmitt Smith and his son EJ Smith — who is making his transition from college football to the pros — sit down with us for a real conversation about money, sports, and the stuff they don't teach you in the locker room. We get into why financial literacy is the most overlooked skill in an athlete's career, how college players are actually managing NIL money (and what most of them get wrong), what the jump from college to professional contracts really looks like financially, and why the rise of sports gambling is changing the culture of the game.
