  • 1546: Financial Freedom for Young Adults with Steve Short & Mark Schlipman

    1546: Financial Freedom for Young Adults with Steve Short & Mark Schlipman
    Mar 1 2026
    When two college dads realized how little real-world money education their kids were getting, they didn’t complain they wrote a book. Financial advisor Steve Short and business owner Mark Schlipman met at a dad’s weekend and quickly bonded over a shared concern: most young adults are entering life with almost no financial foundation. In this episode, Steve and Mark share the story behind their “passion project” book, designed to give teens, college students, and young professionals a simple, step-by-step path to financial freedom without needing a financial advisor. You’ll hear how Steve’s experience as a fiduciary advisor shaped the book’s transparent, no sales approach, why they devoted two-plus hours every Monday for over two years to get it written, and how they built a framework parents can actually use to teach their kids about money. Instead of shaming people for buying lattes or insisting on extreme frugality, Steve and Mark lay out a realistic system that balances discipline with enjoyment. They explain how to treat your personal finances like a business, schedule weekly “money meetings” with yourself, and set up savings habits that still leave about 30% of your income for fun. Along the way, Steve shares a personal wake-up call when his car payment was bigger than his mortgage and how that mistake reshaped his views on debt, goals, and delayed gratification. Whether you’re a parent wanting to pass on better money habits, a young adult just starting out, or someone who’s never had financial concepts explained simply, you’ll walk away with practical steps you can start implementing this week. Quotes: “Most people think young adults need a financial advisor. Our view? If you understand a few core principles and follow the steps, you can do this yourself.” “We’re not here to latte, shame you. You can enjoy life and still hit your financial goals if you have a plan and stick to it.” “Treat your personal finances like a business. Put time on the calendar every week to look at your numbers, your budget, and where the money is leaking.” Resources: Mark Schlipman on LinkedIn Steve Short on LinkedIn The Simple Road Toward Financial Freedom: A Guide to Helping Young Adults Build Wealth

  • 1545: Financial Freedom with Finance Expert Justin Buonomo

    1545: Financial Freedom with Finance Expert Justin Buonomo
    Feb 28 2026
    Growing up in a “make 100K, spend 110” household, Justin Buonomo watched money chaos tear his family apart two bankruptcies, cars repossessed, even losing the family dog when they lost their home. At 18, he received an $80,000 settlement from a childhood car accident… and promptly repeated the same patterns he’d seen modeled. That painful experience plus later work on the business side of Johns Hopkins Medicine set him on a decade-long quest to understand money through a different lens: biblical wisdom, proven financial strategy, and intentional stewardship. Today, Justin is the CEO and founder of Journey to Financial Freedom, where he and his team help faith-based individuals break generational cycles, heal money trauma, and step into a life that honors both God and their goals. In this episode, Justin shares why budgeting is not punishment but the primary tool God can use to increase your freedom, options, and peace of mind when it’s taught the right way. He explains why most financial programs fail long-term: they try to “fix” behaviors without ever addressing the beliefs and subconscious programming formed between ages 7–10. You’ll hear how childhood experiences around scarcity, bankruptcy, or “rich people are bad” scripts keep showing up in your adult bank account, why “money is the root of all evil” is one of the most misquoted verses in the Bible, and how to align your finances with God’s heart instead of fear or greed. Justin also unpacks his Good Steward Program, the crucial role of accountability and community, and how mentorship can give you “wisdom without the wounds” in both personal finance and entrepreneurship. Quotes: “Finances that work take work. There’s no quick solution but when you’re taught by the right person with the right intentions, it doesn’t have to feel confusing or restrictive.” “Your external wealth is just a reflection of your internal wealth. If you only manage behaviors and never heal the beliefs, the old habits always find their way back.” “Money isn’t the problem. Greed and idolatry are. God calls us not to ignore money, but to steward it.” Resources: The Good Steward Justine Buonomo on Linkedln

  • 1544: Amateur Moms Happily Ever After Motherhood Empty Nest Life and Grandkids with Renee Thomas Hawkley

    1544: Amateur Moms Happily Ever After Motherhood Empty Nest Life and Grandkids with Renee Thomas Hawkley
    Feb 27 2026
    Raising eight kids across six states and two countries gave Renee Thomas Hawkley a front-row seat to the beautiful chaos of family life. Now a grandmother and widow at 79, she’s still learning new lessons in love, loss, and letting her adult children “mother” her back. Author of “Once Upon an Amateur Mom” and the forthcoming “Amateur Moms Happily Ever After,” Renee shares honest, humorous stories that reassure overwhelmed moms that joy is still hiding in the mess. From heart‑shaped Valentine’s pizzas and allergy‑friendly family dinners to long‑distance group texts and quick check‑ins, Renee shows how simple acts of inclusion and thoughtfulness keep families close even when they’re spread across multiple states and seasons of life. In this conversation, Renee and Robert explore the emotional shifts of aging and empty nesting, the reality that every child needs different rules, and the hard truth that you can’t fix everything but you can always offer love and kindness. Renee reflects on widowhood and the enduring influence of her late husband Dan, and closes by reading her moving piece “A Mother’s Creed,” a poetic reminder that motherhood links humanity’s past to its future. Whether you’re a mom in the trenches, an empty nester, or an adult child wondering how to better honor your own mother, you’ll come away with simple, practical reminders to invite, include, and reach out while there’s still time. Quotes: “You can’t fix everything for your children but you can always offer your love, your kindness, and the joy of having them close.” “Every child is raised in the same home, but no two children are the same and sometimes love means giving them different rules.” “At 79, I’ve learned that letting my children ‘mother’ me is not weakness; it’s the beautiful proof that family love has come full circle.” Resources: Renee Hawkley Once Upon an Amateur Mom Kindle Edition on Amazon
