Bo Banner has been chasing the thrill of competition from an early age. He spent a significant period of his youth competing in amateur skateboarding tournaments before shifting his focus to football. After four successful years on a scholarship at Central Washington University, he landed a pro contract with the Montreal Alouettes in the Canadian Football League. But a few years later, he decided to hang up his cleats and focus on a new career as a wealth advisor. <\/p>\n

Today, Bo works as an independent financial advisor in Whistler, BC. He and Brenda discuss his path to the CFL, the circumstances that led him to leave football behind for a career in finance, and how being a pro athlete prepared him for life as an advisor.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"For the best listening experience and to never miss an episode, subscribe to Behind the Advice on your…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":941,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[14],"tags":[1401,1397,1409,1410,1407,1408,1405,1406,45,49,48,133,1411,1398,1399,1403,1402,131,132,1404,1400],"class_list":["post-940","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-personal-finance","tag-adveditorial","tag-appwebview","tag-behind-advice","tag-behind-advice-podcast","tag-behind-the-advice","tag-behind-the-advice-podcast","tag-behindtheadvice","tag-behindtheadvicepodcast","tag-business","tag-ca","tag-canada","tag-finance","tag-investing-podcast","tag-nodelphi","tag-nopolly","tag-ordid3565535917pod","tag-orid3753832050podcast","tag-personal-finance","tag-personalfinance","tag-podcast","tag-yespop"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/940","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=940"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/940\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/941"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=940"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=940"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=940"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
