Episode Summary

It’s football season, and Certified Financial Planner™ David Chudyk is drawing play-by-play lessons from the field to your financial life. Just like championships aren’t won on Saturdays or Sundays but in the preparation during the week, your financial success comes from the fundamentals, the planning, and yes—even the “boring” stuff.

In this episode, David breaks down four powerful football analogies to help you win with money:

• Watching Film → Why knowing your financial facts matters.
• The Playbook → How financial planning and systems prepare you for every situation.
• The Boring Fundamentals → The “blocking and tackling” of personal finance: saving, debt repayment, insurance, and discipline.
• Touchdowns & Flashy Plays → The big wins that make it all worthwhile—and how they’re built on consistency.

Plus, David shares practical tools like a financial balance sheet and Vid Guide for business owners to build processes that keep your financial game plan sharp.
