Jedidiah Collins spent seven seasons in the NFL, but not before being cut 13 times.

In this episode, Jed breaks down what it really takes to stay in the game when everything is telling you you shouldn’t be there. From building a performance identity (“Zilla”) to redefining failure as feedback, this conversation goes far beyond football.

We talk about:

• Why winning has nothing to do with the scoreboard
• How journaling can change your mindset (and your future)
• The difference between being talented vs. being valuable
• What young athletes need to understand about NIL and money
• How to build confidence through self-talk and identity

This is for athletes, parents, and coaches who want more than performance. It's for the ones who want longevity, growth, and real-life success beyond the game.

About Jedidiah

Jedidiah Collins spent seven seasons in the NFL as a fullback, but his journey was anything but secure. Cut 13 times before finally earning his place, Jed learned early that talent might get you noticed, but resilience is what keeps you in the game.

At one point ranked the No. 1 fullback in the world, Jed measured success differently: through journaling, reflection, and growth.

After football, he became a Certified Financial Planner® and founded Money Vehicle, helping athletes and students learn to Speak Money & Act Wealthy. He is also the author of Your Money Vehicle and the upcoming book Fourth and Goal.

Today, Jed travels the country teaching his “Rookie to Veteran” framework to what he calls Business Athletes, those who understand performance extends far beyond the field.

He proudly calls himself a “Great Failure,” redefining failure as First Attempt In Learning.
