When making an investment, do we cross our fingers and hope that it comes out ok? Of course not. However, sometimes families do precisely that (cross their fingers) when sending their children to college without a sound plan. Beth Probst chatted with RL Guillaume, author and host of the Your Money-Manage It podcast, about what families can do now to make a difference in a student’s confidence.

College is a “big spend.” We justify that spend with the hope that we’ll see a successful transition to the working world after college. Drew Stevens, host of the Wisdom to Wealth podcast, spoke with Beth Probst about the value of backing up career-thinking into the high school years.

On the Tell Us How to Make It Better podcast, Beth spoke with George Siegal about planning for how and where your kids go to college. College is way too expensive to just hope kids figure it out, so At The Core helps them understand all their options, do self-assessment, and career exploration, and make sure that those headed to college are aiming in the right direction. They even chatted about topics other than college like the necessity of chemistry and algebra and the importance of not discouraging kids’ dreams.

On The Parenting 411 podcast, Beth chatted with Carol Muleta about the college journey and how it can be overwhelming and stressful. They discussed helping teens get clear about their life goals, so they can chart the best course for building the life that they dream of.

Beth got the chance to record with Anna Sergunina, CFP®, on her Money Boss podcast. Their conversation included practical tips for high school students to complete before the end of high school so they can move toward college with much more confidence and clarity.

Beth Probst was a guest on 610WTVN’s “What Matters with Mindy and Mikaela” podcast. They talked about making the most of a teen’s summer vacation.

Beth Probst was the guest on the “UnTalk” podcast hosted by La’Mier T. of LTD Channel 614. It was a really fun conversation about a shining a flashlight on a family’s journey through high school to college and career. (Be sure to listen to both segments of the chat.)

Beth Probst got to sit down with True North Wealth Partners. What can parents and students do during high school to be prepared for those next steps? How can their experiences now help them later? (Jump forward to 18:30 for Beth’s section.)

In the Breaker Society podcast episode “Starving Parents,” Beth and Alicia Mowry, the public information officer for the Delaware Area Career Center in Central Ohio discussed how they built a partnership to engage parents and the community to help overcome a long-standing stigma-in this case the stigmas surrounding career-technical education-and increase enrollment and the image of the Delaware Area Career Center.

Sometimes Beth gets to do really fun/interesting things for work. In Breaker Society’s first episode “College and Career,” Beth chatted with Shane Haggerty about At The Core’s purpose and debating whether she was a closet rule-breaker.
