Private Clients partner Theresa Balducci and corporate associate Adam Unger are joined by Matt Joyce, 14-year veteran of Major League Baseball and one-time Major League Baseball All-Star, to discuss issues faced by professional athletes in managing their personal finances. Matt shares his personal experiences, both during and after his tenure as a professional athlete. The podcast discusses how to engage in strategic financial planning and have a long-term mindset if you are in a position of coming into a significant amount of money. The podcast further discusses the importance of retaining and engaging reputable professionals, including a lawyer, investment manager and an accountant, particularly when considering potential investment opportunities.
