The Guided Retirement Show


Feb 2, 2021

There’s no such thing as a one-size-fits-all retirement plan, and retirement often isn’t moving to Florida and never working again in your life.

Professional athletes, and especially football players, for example, are often done playing by their thirties or forties. With so much life left to live and so many opportunities out there, there are countless paths to take - and today’s guest, Mark Collins, is living proof.

Mark is a two-time Super Bowl champion who played for the Kansas City Chiefs, Green Bay Packers, New York Giants, and the Seattle Seahawks. He has worked as a financial advisor, and his current venture is 2FiveSports, where he’s helping student athletes create winning demonstrations, connect with recruiters, and win the scholarships they need to play college sports.

Today, Mark joins the podcast to tell the story of the many roles he’s taken on since leaving the NFL, building a legacy, and giving back by creating opportunities for other kids just like him.

In this podcast interview, you’ll learn:

  • How being very coachable helped Mark take advantage of opportunities and chart a path from high school football to becoming an NFL draft pick.
  • The moment Mark knew he was physically and mentally done with football, how he moved on with his life, and why he ultimately felt like the broadcasting world moved on without him.
  • How 2FiveSports is helping student-athletes get the exposure they need to win college scholarships.
  • What Mark learned from the several years he worked as a financial advisor.
