TechCulture When a small business owner in Fort Washington, MD needed to restructure his retirement plan, the last place he thought to look was at his local park, where a staggering 6’8″ tall resident was casually shooting hoops on the court.
However, this was precisely where the small business owner needed to be. See, the person on this court wasn’t just a former collegiate basketball star blowing off some steam; he was Tayvon Jackson, a financial advisor, author, and advocate for financial literacy in his community.
When Jackson isn’t on the court, he conducts financial literacy seminars and helps families achieve their long-term financial goals through innovative approaches.
Though this was not the path Jackson originally saw his life going. The former collegiate athlete initially had dreams of making it into the NBA. However, as his athletic career progressed, he realized he might not be the rising star everyone expected and needed a plan B.
“I figured if I couldn’t make it into the NBA, I could be the guy who helps NBA players avoid going broke, which is a huge concern for athletes.”
