We are back for Part 2 with NFL and D1 College Football Coach Evan Burk this week on Lap of Fate Pod 98. Part 1 was the first part of Evan's Career with SMU and The Miami Dolphins. In part 2, we dive into his time coaching at UCLA and his post-coaching life of being a speaker, podcaster, and author!
Part 1: https://youtu.be/E2XECj9vClo (highly recommend watching first!)
Evan Burk is not your typical football coach. Despite not playing football beyond high school and having no network in the coaching profession, Evan's unlikely football journey began as a 4th-grade coach, where he quickly worked his way to the NFL in just 6 years and included coaching for teams such as the Miami Dolphins, UCLA, and SMU. Positions he coached were quarterbacks, running backs, defensive backs, special teams, and more!
After spending fifteen-plus years working with the highest-performing athletes, coaches, and teams on the planet, Coach Burk uses his unique football coaching background to teach people how to utilize the same strategies in business and life that elite players and teams use to perform at a world-class level.
Coach Burk enlightens Leap of Fate Pod this week with lessons learned and amazing stories from his career. For any sports fans, this is the perfect podcast for you!

A major question leading into 2022 and beyond: Cryptocurrency vs. Stocks: What’s The Better Choice? Cryptocurrency has taken the world by storm, especially during the last few years. And many people are seeing better returns in Crypto than the traditional stock market.
Should you invest in cryptocurrency or stocks?
Any savvy investor needs to know exactly what they’re investing in. It’s crucial to weigh the risks and rewards of investing, and what will drive the investment’s success. If they don’t have this kind of information, they can’t make the calculation. In this case, it’s not really investing — it’s much more like gambling.
Here are the key things we talk about with Crypto and personal finance expert David Veksler on Leap of Fate Pod 77:
1. Crypto history
2. Crypto and the Mehta Universe Utility
3. Crypto's utility in today's global world
4. Cryptocurrency vs the Stock Market
5. Why It's important to diversify your assets
6. 2022 Crypto and Stocks expectations and Strategy
7. Crypto's hedge against inflation
8. Tips for safely holding Crypto to not be hacked

Learning how to budget and save money is a necessary personal finance skill everyone needs to know to not just protect themselves from debt but also accumulate wealth. Budgeting is the personal finance tool for taking control of your money and saving money. Leap of Fate Pod explores personal finances this week so you learn and understand how to budget, save money, and growing your wealth!
A budget is a written plan for how you will spend your money. It allows you to make financial decisions ahead of time, which makes it easier to cover all your expenses along with paying off debt, saving for the future, and being able to afford fun expenses. Budgeting consistently can help you turn your finances around and start the process of building wealth.
Why Budgeting Is Important in Personal Finance? A budget is a powerful tool because it allows you to determine how and where you want to spend your money. When you master budgeting, you make sure that every dollar is being used how you want it, and can track your spending to determine whether it matches your priorities.
Our guest this week Cameron Ross comes on to speak about all this and more in his personal life! He had no one to teach him so he had to teach himself how to leave the bad habits of poor budgeting and personal finances to save money.
What he realized like many others, often when people start budgeting they are surprised to see how much money is going to things that are not important to them, like eating out, mindless online shopping, or high-interest payments on credit cards.
Budgeting allows you to monitor your progress on financial goals and stick to your financial plan. Eventually, it creates opportunities to eliminate debt and build wealth.
Using a budget allows you to understand your financial situation and manage your money. It puts you in control, rather than allowing your money to control you.
Enjoy this fun and engaging podcast! Go save and grow that money!
