In this bonus episode of Money & Wealth, John Hope Bryant sits down with NFL star Arik Armstead to talk about building wealth off the field and making legacy investments that matter.

Arik shares details about one of the biggest investments of his career so far — becoming an early investor in the new professional flag football league backed by major firms, the NFL, and some of the biggest names in sports and finance. He breaks down how years of relationship-building, learning business, and being intentional in the right rooms opened the door to this opportunity.

The conversation dives into private equity, networking, ownership, and why athletes must think beyond their playing careers. Arik also explains why this investment is personal for him as a father of two daughters and why he believes flag football has a massive future globally.
