In this episode of Money Misfits, Professor Heath sits down with Coach Hansen Sekona, Defensive Coordinator for the College of San Mateo Bulldogs.

Coach Sekona’s journey is raw, real, and inspiring:

Growing up in a large immigrant family in Southern California and the Bay Area

Navigating survival mode, poverty, and missed opportunities in school

Spending time in juvenile hall and finding a second chance through community college and football

Earning a scholarship to Kansas State University and experiencing culture shock in the Midwest

Building a career in coaching and mentorship through the Built for Life philosophy

Learning financial literacy later in life: credit scores, budgeting, Roth IRAs, emergency funds, and the power of compound interest

Why giving back to your community and investing in others creates lasting impact

This is more than a football story—it’s about resilience, education, money, and the power of second chances.

If you’re a student, athlete, educator, or anyone overcoming setbacks, this conversation will hit home.
