As a professional golfer, tax optimization is one of the most important areas of your wealth to address.

In this week’s episode, Aaron is joined by Super Bowl champion, 8-year NFL veteran and AWM colleague Zach Miller to discuss some of the strategies for professional athletes to optimize their tax situation, and weigh the pros and cons of a SEP IRA vs an Individual 401(k).
