How to Build Financial Security as an Athlete
About this episode
Being a professional athlete doesn't necessarily mean making a professional living. For many endurance athletes, even impressive race results aren't enough to create financial security or a sustainable career.
Beau Riggs and Klodian Mitri of Resolute Wealth Racing join the conversation to explore what it takes to support athletes beyond the finish line. From financial literacy and the power of compound interest to personal branding, sponsorships, and building relationships with companies outside the endurance industry, they discuss the opportunities athletes often overlook while focusing on performance.
They also share how Resolute is approaching sponsorship differently, why an athlete's story can be more valuable than their results, and how investing in both financial health and long-term relationships can create opportunities that last well beyond a racing career.
