Today's guest on the Worth Listening podcast is Sam Acho. Sam is a nine-year NFL veteran, writer, public speaker, and humanitarian. In addition to his work as an ESPN sports analyst, Sam speaks widely at colleges, events, conferences, and churches. He is the founder and president of Athletes for Justice and the Director of Impact at AWM Capital. Sam served as vice president of the NFL Players Association and is currently an ambassador for International Justice Mission.

Sam has a truly unique and refreshing perspective on money and one a lot of people don’t expect from a former professional athlete. Growing up with Nigerian parents, Sam was able to travel between and see the differences of life in a Nigerian village and attending the top-rated private school in the states. This perspective has helped shape his perception of money and life in many ways throughout his life.

Today Sam will share with us more about the two different financial worlds he grew up experiencing and how they helped shape the way he thinks about money.

In This Episode We Discuss:
