In today's episode, Lauryn Williams shares her incredible journey from track and field to bobsled, becoming the first American woman to win medals in both Summer and Winter Olympics. She opens up about the financial mistakes she made as a young athlete, how she turned things around, and why she’s passionate about helping others with their finances. Lauryn also talks about her retreats in Colombia, where she empowers people to take control of their money while enjoying a unique travel experience.
About our guest:
Lauryn Williams, a University of Miami alum, is a thought leader, speaker, and accomplished businesswoman bridging the gap between sports and finance. A 4x Olympian and 3x Olympic medalist, she made history as the first American woman to earn medals in both the Summer and Winter Olympics, winning silver in the 100m Dash in 2004, gold in the 4x100m relay in 2012, and silver in the two-woman bobsled in 2014. After retiring from sports, Lauryn founded Worth Winning, a virtual fee-only financial planning firm dedicated to helping millennials and professional athletes navigate their finances. She authored The Oval Office: A Four-Time Olympian's Guide to Professional Track and Field, combining her expertise in sports and finance, and hosts the biweekly financial literacy podcast Worth Listening. As a member of the CNBC Advisor Council and a regular contributor to news outlets, Lauryn has been named one of Investopedia's Top 100 Advisors multiple times and is now making strides in venture capital. Despite her many roles, Lauryn prioritizes giving back by volunteering with USA Track and Field junior athletes and serving on the World Anti-Doping Agency finance committee. Currently residing in Medellín, Colombia, she is driven by a mission to positively impact as many lives as possible.
