Olympian to Money Master with Lauryn Williams

This week I sat down with Olympian and financial planner
Lauryn Williams to discuss how to master money topics,
specifically as it relates to athletes.


Lauryn, CFP is a 4-time Olympian, 3-time Olympic medalist and
the first American woman to earn a medal in both the Summer
and Winter Olympics Games.


While pursuing professional sports Lauryn interacted with not
one, but two financial advisors that didn’t provide the
services she needed. She asked friends what they were doing
about their finances and the answers were vague and
unsettling. Constantly looking for ways to make a difference
in the lives of others, she decided to put her finance degree
and MBA to use to fill the gap for young professional. Eager
to learn everything she then pursued the Certified Financial
Planning certification.


Her company, Worth Winning, offers virtual services to help
young professional get the answers to the financial questions
that matter most to them. Whether that is creating a budget,
figuring out a plan for paying off student loans, setting
goals for savings or understanding your 401(k), Worth Winning
is ready to help with all things personal finance.
