From NFL Player to Money Coach with Jedidiah Collins

Welcome to this edition of Wine and Dime with Amy Irvine. In this episode, I have the pleasure of chatting with Jedidiah Collins. Jed grew up in a household of three brothers and one sister. He then became an NFL player, and was traded 12-times during that journey. Luckily, it was early on in his career he realized that he needed to Pivot his Relationship with Money. This journey then led him to becoming a financial planner and attain his CERTIFIED FINANCIAL PLANNER Designation.

Jed and I share in the mission to get education into the high school systems! Jed has created a tool called “Your money vehicle” The first 10 questions to ask on their journey, it is a 10 week financial literacy course that contains 35 short videos.  

You’ll hear about the 30-day financial literacy challenge (30 NFL players) coming out in July.

This was an incredible conversation with someone who shares my passion about financial education and literacy. So sit on back, enjoy your favorite wine, and enjoy the show!

Financial education is now a necessary skill for survival.

Why empowerment and education? Because education without action fails! So, now what? Your parents likely didn’t face this issue, and you weren’t taught personal finance in school. Where are you supposed to learn how money works? More importantly, how to make money work for you?

On the verge of receiving your first paycheck or laying out your financial plan, you need to know what to do, what not to do, and where your money is supposed to go. Jedidiah Collins faced the same dilemma when he was handed his first paycheck as an NFL player. The idea of planning for his long-term financial security was the last thing on his mind.

In Your Money Vehicle, Jedidiah unwraps the complicated language of money into short, digestible stories that give you the clarity it took him years to find. You’ll walk through ten questions designed to start you on your financial journey and receive guidance on how to get started with cash management, taxes, investments, and more as you create your personal plan. You’ll walk away with the skills to make money work for you and help others do the same!


ROOKIE TO VETERAN PODCAST

ABOUT THIS PODCAST

rookie-to-veteran-vMy-HCEflj7-5p86PI2UJoB.1400x1400.jpg

Good artists borrow, Great artists steal. In Rookie to Veteran we steal success each and every week!
We will approach each topic and guest with a beginners mind, the Rookie mindset. It will be our challenge to use what we learn to close the gap between where we stand today and the goals we have set for ourselves. This phantom gap is our potential.
After traveling through locker rooms in the NFL and hundreds of board room in business, I have come to realize what I do best is take from the best.
Come steal the behaviors of the best and Eliminate your Potential!!


D2.png

D2 offers abundant dried cranberry and raspberry aromas surging from the glass, with intertwined darker fruits notes of cassis, blueberry, and blackberry. Delicately balanced oak influence contributes cocoa and coffee bean notes while remaining completely respectful of the fruit.  This appealing wine is vibrant and extraordinarily fresh on the palate, with persistent fruit flavors of pomegranate and blueberry. Understated and subtle tannin provides welcome structure, while excellent early integration offers accessibility, generosity and abundant pleasure despite the wine’s youth.


Prejean Winery
Featured Finger Lakes Winery

Prejean Winery grows grape varieties that originated in Europe: Merlot, Cabernet Sauvignon, Cabernet Franc, Riesling, Gewurztraminer, Chardonnay. Europe, and generally the French model, was the foundation of the modern wine industry. The regions defined the wines. Bordeaux and Burgundy and Champagne are regions, as well as wines. Each of these regions has grapes that are indigenous to these regions. Bordeaux, for example, grows Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, Cabernet France, Petite Verdot and Malbec and the wines of Bordeaux are blends, in varying amounts, of these grape varietals. This is the tradition that has been handed down, in some case, for almost a thousand years. But the New World locations had no such history or wine regions – they were blank slates. Chardonnay and Cabernet Sauvignon are planted throughout every major wine region and in some cases have become commodities.

The Finger Lakes, while being an older (New World) region in many ways, is also quite young, too young to have a regional identity tied to specific grapes. But the pioneers of the Finger Lakes wine region had the European example and the most exportable aspect was the varietal. The varietal became the focal point, rather that the region.

The Intersection of Wine, Integrative Medicine, and Finance with Nancy Stabins

In the episode of Wine and Dime I chat with Nancy Stabins. Nancy is the Regional Vice President of the American Wine Society. Is it any surprise that I asked her to be on the show?! Talk about doing what you love and love what you do...Nancy and her husband (a wine judge) have explored the world through their passion for wine. Although Nancy and I geek out about wine, we also explore how Nancy, who is an RN, turned her son’s diagnosis at a young age into a successful integrative medicine business. My favorite quote from this recording is, “May we never know the disease we prevent.”


Nancy Stabins.png

Nancy is trained as an RN and has certifications in Natural Health Care and Homeopathy. She is a Loomis Digestive Enzyme Specialist. She became interested in complementary health methods because of medical concerns with her own children. Nancy has been working in the health care industry for over thirty years and started Natural Alternatives, Inc. in 1995. Nancy specializes in Energetic Health assessments using EAV (Electro Acupuncture according to Voll), homotoxicology, digestive issues and basic nutrition.  She taught for 10 years through Trinity School of Natural Health. She is President and owner of Natural Alternatives, Inc.

Services offered by Nancy include:


Wines talked about in the episode:

Nancys Pick.jpg

Nancy -

Domaine Du Vieux Télégraphe Châteauneuf-Du-Pape La Crau

Bright ruby. Lively, musky aromas of red berries, cherry, anise, earth and spices, augmented by hints of lavender and resin. Energetic, focused redcurrant and bitter cherry flavors show good definition and pick up minerality with air. Taut on the back end, finishing with solid grip and very good, tangy persistence.

Amys Pick.png

Amy -

Lake Kueka Red Blend

This craft-vinted blend of vinifera grape varieties exhibits flavors of ripe flavors of raspberry and plum; accented by hints of spice and soft tannins on the finish.

Wine, Cookies, and Finance...What if you Fly?

Welcome to this edition of Wine and Dine with Amy Irvine. In this edition, you will hear some really unique combinations that are taking place out of a new business idea by somebody I met in a Facebook group that I belong to. Krystina Benedetti is amazing in what she is starting in her particular experience through Covid-19. The dream that has become very clear to her and how she's taking a normally hands-on experience, and taking it virtually. 

Be sure to listen all the way to the end where you can find out information on how to reach out to Krystina and get more information about her virtual cookie ice night. Of course there must be a little bit of wine involved here, so sit on back, grab your favorite glass of wine, and enjoy this show with Krystina.

Highlights:

  • Want a two hour break from being (fill in the blank) - Krystina is following her dream to combine cookies, icing, and wine….oh my!

  • Amy and Krystina talk about how the experience of being isolated during COVID-19 helped Krystina discover her passion, create her own company, and ultimately bring people together. After listening to this podcast, you will want to get your girlfriends together and host a Virtual cookie ice night!

Wine:  Amy: Bully Hill Cabernet Franc

CABERNET FRANC

bottle-cabfranc.png

Cabernet Franc, one of the three pillars of the classic Bordeaux blend, has proven itself as a solid producer in the Finger Lakes wine region of New York.  A lot of wineries prefer this as their staple red vinifera due to the vines shorter ripening period and cold tolerance.  The key to making a fine Cab Franc starts in the vineyard.  Pick too early and the wine will have an unsavory green bell pepper characteristic; pick to late and the fruit will be unsound leaving the winemaker rushing to stabilize the wine from spoilage.  

Bully Hill makes a downright tasty Cab Franc with the grapes being sourced from Seneca Lake.  The current 2013 vintage was fermented in Redwood open top fermenters for maximum tannin and color extraction.  Once finished and pressed off, we fill up oak casks down in the cellar to bring this fine wine to fruition.   We do small lot production of 500 cases a year and thanks to our happy herd of customers this wine sells out annually!

Mother’s Day Edition - Planning for Grieving Mothers with Carrie Gibson

Hello again Wine and Dime listeners! Mother’s day is a time to honor those special women in our lives that we call mom (or that feel like mom).  But what if you are a mom that has lost a child?  What is mother’s day like for you?  Carrie and Amy explore this topic and how we can show support and friendship to those special women who are grieving and the event she is planning with another month to develop support for each other.

As a reminder, Carrie’s full story can be found in Episode #97 of Wine and Dime


My ability to adapt to different situations in life came from growing up in a professional baseball family, which made it necessary to jump in and out of schools across the country each year (sometimes 4 moves per year). I also am a mother of two boys, having lost the eldest in 2017, when he was 29 and unmarried. I was forced into learning what needed to be done to handle his finances and affairs without any guidance.

No grieving mom is ever alone in the way she feels daily. There are thousands of grieving moms who feel the same way she does. Although each person "deals" with the loss differently, we have all felt the same emotions at some point. Also, since the death of one's child affects every aspect of one's life, it is imperative that individuals who have never experienced the loss of a child understand what a grieving mom goes through emotionally and mentally. Finally, a grieving mom needs to know there are some things that need to be considered and addressed (especially when it comes to an adult child who is single) from a legal and financial perspective.

In my book, Never Alone in the Darkness The Shared Journey of Losing a Child, I write about how to handle an adult deceased child's student loan debt, taxes, paychecks, leased vehicles.

The Shared Journey of Losing a Child was written by a grieving mother who lost her oldest child in 2017. Feeling isolated, walking on the edge between reality and insanity, she had no idea if what she was feeling was normal. Had other mothers experienced the same emotions when they went through the nightmare of their loss? Finding purpose in her pain, she put her deepest emotions into words so other mothers would always have a reference to read, at any given point in their grief, to identify with a mother who knew firsthand what they were feeling. It was her hope these grieving mothers would then never feel alone in their own journey. She also discovered her words provided a better understanding of grieving mothers to those who had never experienced the unimaginable darkness of losing a child.

There’s bourbon. And then there’s divine inspiration painstakingly crafted into a spirit so sublime you’ll want to share it with the world. We make the second one. ANGEL’S ENVY is what happens when 200 years of bourbon tradition meet an independent master craftsman’s instinct to improve. It’s a total return to the art of craft-first, hand blended batches of 8 to 12 barrels at a time.

We personally taste every barrel throughout each step of the aging process to ensure that the spirits meet our perfectionist standards. This would be enough for any other premium bourbon, but we think you deserve more. That’s why we finish every one of our whiskeys in hand-selected finishing barrels. For an added layer of flavor and complexity, our bourbon and special cask strength are finished in ruby port casks, and our rye is finished in rum barrels. There’s no set time for this process.

It’s only Angel’s Envy when we say it is.
