I am so excited to reveal the cover for my upcoming book. This project has been a culmination of my blood, sweat, and tears. Huge thanks to @HHReynolds and @transitionse my @OverseasFamePod team @michela_hall and my photographer editor and Chucky Brown. Summer 2021, comin in hot!
When I went undrafted and started chasing jobs overseas, nobody sat me down and explained what happens to the money once it shows up. You learn the hard way, usually after the contract is gone and you’re trying to figure out where it all went.
That’s why Jeff Durr and I are starting something I should have had years ago. The Cost of Procrastination kicks off a recurring podcast and webinar Jeff and I host together, covering everything overseas athletes need on and off the court. Contracts, taxes, currency, planning, the stuff that follows you home long after the season ends.
When you do something like this, you want the right person in the chair next to you. Jeff is a Senior VP at MassMutual NJ and NYC with 27 years in financial services. He started on the football team at Maine, so he knows the athlete’s world from the inside, and he’s run his financial literacy curriculum with the athletic departments at Rutgers, Rider, and Rowan for years through his program, RU Financially Strong.
In episode 1 we get into the financial pitfalls athletes fall into and the real number behind waiting too long to plan. It’s hundreds of thousands, maybe millions, and most guys never see it coming.
Best part: it’s all free. OverseasX is free to join, and the full webinar comes with it. Sign up, you’re in, every episode.
With OverseasX, you’ll never have to walk this journey alone.
Terry Crews shares the heartbreaking moment he was cut from the NFL Washington Redskins after being told he made the team.
"Right after camp they said 'Congratulations, you made the team.' I tell my wife, we celebrate...I go to practice, I practice all day. My wife, while I'm in practice, she checking my kids into school."
"I come home and they say 'Hey man, come back up to the Redskins park and bring your playbook.' They said "we have to let you go man". On that Tuesday, which is the NFL day off, they brought another linebacker from another team."
"I sat the whole year didn't get picked up. I tried to find ways to make it work but nothing"
"That level of pain... is never really talked about, that so many players go through."
If you wanna hate America, watch the news
If you wanna love America, drive through it
World Cup travelers have had their eyes opened to what a great country this is
The World Cup brings the biggest stars out✨
Ahead of Brazil’s match against Haiti in Philadelphia on Friday night, the one and only Ronaldinho made a trip to the Art Museum steps
I’m assuming he will be in attendance at “Philadelphia Stadium” tonight
Just absolutely unreal lmao 🇧🇷
@mcuban have always followed you. Although I never was on your radar as a player, hopefully the community I’m building for pro basketball players playing overseas may be interesting to you.

Hear me out: we make new “Amish” towns, but instead of 18th century customs it’s just the 90’s forever. There’s Blockbuster and Pizza Hut, and no social media (but you can use AOL instant messenger).
Lmk when you guys wanna start.
