Tyler and Jake sit down with Johann Kroll — a former Ohio State and minor league hockey player turned CFA and CFP — who now runs Hockey Wealth, a firm dedicated entirely to financial planning for professional hockey players.

Johann breaks down the most common financial mistakes he sees players make, from chasing crypto and flashy restaurant investments to neglecting the boring-but-powerful fundamentals like diversified ETF portfolios and maxing out NHL 401k buckets. Whether you're a pro athlete or just someone trying to get smarter with money, this episode is a masterclass in why simple almost always beats flashy.
