If you’ve ever felt like the business you built is running you—or that your professional success doesn’t quite match the personal fulfillment you imagined—you’re not alone.

In this episode, Hilary sits down with Jeff Willmore, founder of The Autonomy Course, to explore how ambitious business owners and professionals can align their work with their deeper calling.

Jeff’s journey started with a business he built alongside his brother fresh out of college, and evolved into a life-changing exploration of purpose-centered entrepreneurship.

Together, Hilary and Jeff discuss what happens when your company’s mission reflects what you do instead of why you do it, and how it’s never too late to change the path you’re on if it isn’t taking you where you want to go.

They dig into callings, regrets, money stories, and the power of language to help you reconnect with purpose and joy in both business and life–something that we hope this conversation unlocks for you. 👇

Here’s what you’ll learn in this week’s episode of Love, your Money:

• 04:12 How Jeff and his brother launched their first business after college, and the early vision that shaped his path
• 07:20 What it means to design a business that reflects your authenticity—and how Jeff helps entrepreneurs do just that
• 11:15 Why understanding your personal calling is more powerful than just having a mission or vision statement–and how it can impact your own end-of-life regrets
• 16:13 The role of language in expressing your essence, and how moments of profound inspiration shape a life
• 23:11 The inherited beliefs Jeff carried about money and work, rooted in the labor movement—and how they’ve shifted

• 35:28 What makes The Autonomy Course different from other entrepreneurial coaching approaches

Heading off to college is a milestone event for students and parents, but navigating the admissions process and financing a degree is not a simple undertaking. Post-secondary education is one of the largest investments people make in life, and today’s guest on Love, your Money® is here to explain how getting a little help through the process can lead to better outcomes.

Heidi King is part of the team at College Inside Track, an organization that helps families navigate the college process, find the right fit, and get the best price at the schools they’re considering.

Heidi is no stranger to the college process, as she recently went through it herself with her two sons. She is considered a national subject matter expert on college planning, and provides valuable advice to thousands of families.

In this conversation we talked about who should apply for FAFSA, myths or common mistakes that make college pricier, and some of the questions our clients at Hendershott Wealth Management® typically ask about college planning.

Whether you’re barely starting to think about college or you’re elbows deep in applications, we hope this episode sheds some light on the process–and maybe helps your kid secure a few more scholarships!

Here’s what you’ll learn in this week’s episode of Love, your Money:

• 02:41 First, notes from our Director of Financial Planning, Jen Rupp, on 529 accounts: The benefits of a 529, what the money can be used for, how we recommend funding a 529, options for how the money can be used if not for education, and age-based investment options within a 529
• 08:33 Who’s actually planning for college–parents or students?–and when to start thinking about the application process
• 10:08 The cost of going to college (including the most expensive universities out there), how much parents should consider saving, and the potential of flexibility in admission fees
• 12:53 How College Inside Track works with parents and students to consider academic, social, and financial fit–and improve outcomes in the admissions process
• 16:02 When the FAFSA becomes a consideration, who should fill it out (hint: pretty much everyone!), and how colleges use FAFSA data
• 20:48 Determining key criteria in targeting schools to apply to, why finding the right fit can prevent transfers, and the biggest predictors of students’ success in school and life (Spoiler: it’s not pedigree or the degree)
• 25:41 The single best source of scholarships, plus the myths and misunderstandings that cause families to leave money on the table
• 31:13 The challenges of the college application process once you’re past the football games and campus visits
