Nothing but NETworth aims to educate, inspire, and motivate student athlete financial health.
San Diego, CA - May 2, 2024 – iGrad Financial Wellness, an award-winning, web-based financial literacy platform that provides lifetime personalized financial wellness education, announced today the launch of their new financial literacy podcast, Nothing but NETworth, hosted by Student Athlete Engagement Manager Hassan Thomas.
The Nothing but NETWorth Podcast aims to shed light on the ever-evolving landscape of the NCAA’s new rules around Name, Image, and Likeness (NIL) in college sports. The podcast will provide valuable insights, experiences, and strategies for student-athletes, coaches, and athletic directors across the country. With such agreements already evolving into an estimated $500 million dollar market nationally, Nothing but NETworth is set to be a go-to resource for college athletes seeking guidance on navigating the financial aspects of their careers.
Host, Hassan Thomas, has previous experience as a student-athlete himself. He is now a financial literacy speaker, author, podcaster, and thought leader on the needs of student-athletes -- mentally, physically, and fiscally. Anyone looking to be educated, motivated, and inspired to not only stay in the game but also change it, can listen, like, and subscribe through your favorite podcast channel. New episodes will be released every other Wednesday.
