285: Living Your Calling in Business: A ...

Hilary Hendershott, CFP
About this episode

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
  • 29:24 Why slowing down your thinking can be a superpower for leaders and decision-makers
  • 35:28 What makes The Autonomy Course different from other entrepreneurial coaching approaches
  • 39:08 How our company Blueprint and the team’s individual callings are woven into HWM’s client experience, and other real-world stories of people who’ve integrated purpose and profitability
