Episode Details

Episode 039:  In Part 3 of The Athlete’s Guide to Investing, I shift the conversation from building wealth to protecting it.

Because making money is only part of the equation.
 Learning how to keep it, manage risk, and build resilient systems matters just as much.

In this episode, I break down some of the biggest lessons I’ve learned studying Ray Dalio and diversification, including:

 • The importance of uncorrelated assets
 • Why diversification is really about protection and flexibility
 • How to think about risk and volatility
 • The difference between liquidity, income, volatility, and expected return
 • Why every investment involves tradeoffs
 • How to build a system that can survive uncertainty over time

I also share some of my own experiences with real estate, investing, and learning how to think more long term about financial decision making.

My goal with this series has never been to overcomplicate investing.

It’s to help athletes build simple systems, think long term, and create more freedom and flexibility over time.

Because wealth is not built through hype.

It’s built through discipline, patience, and consistency.

Keep compounding.
