On this episode of Financial Freestyle, host Ross Mac sits down with Olympic gold medalist Lauryn Williams to unpack her powerful journey from earning over $200,000 a year at the height of her track career to making $12 an hour as a financial planning intern.
Lauryn opens up about being misled by advisors, losing money in a scam, and the hard lessons she learned about commissions. Now a Certified Financial Planner, she shares practical game plans on choosing the right advisor, avoiding common money traps, building emergency funds, and more, aiming to turn her setbacks into a blueprint for financial freedom.
