What makes Jed different
Two questions every event planner asks. Two answers that don’t need a slide.
How is Jed different from the typical speaker talking to your company?
He leads with a story and turns it into a conversation. Every message is pointed at application, not information — what is the one thing you will do differently tomorrow?
How is Jed different from the typical speaker talking to your business athletes?
He is one of them. And he wants nothing from them.

About Jed
Be who you needed when you were young.
Jedidiah Collins spent seven seasons in the NFL. He was cut thirteen times before earning his place, and then kept it long enough to become one of the top fullbacks in the game. The lesson that now defines his work was learned the hard way: talent gets you noticed, resilience keeps you in the room.
After football he became a Certified Financial Planner® and founded Money Vehicle, a financial-literacy company now used by thousands of students. He teaches athletes, students, entrepreneurs and leaders how to speak money and act wealthy — turning financial literacy into practical action and real confidence.

Thirteen cuts, one lesson
I was released from NFL rosters thirteen times. Somewhere around the ninth, I stopped hearing a verdict and started hearing a question.

I was an accounting major with an NFL contract and I still had no idea where the money went. That gap is the reason Money Vehicle exists.

Write it down first
The most valuable thing I did in seven NFL seasons had nothing to do with football. It was a notebook.
