Most people don’t grow up learning how to manage money—let alone build multi-generational wealth. In this episode of Millions Were Made, Jessica sits down with wealth management expert Hilary Hendershott to explore what truly sets high-net-worth individuals apart when it comes to money mindset, investment strategy, and legacy planning.
Hilary shares her personal journey from financial struggle to founding a boutique firm managing over a quarter billion in assets—exclusively for women. They talk candidly about why women often hesitate to claim wealth, how to shift generational money patterns, and what it really takes to live off your investments. Whether you’re making your first sevenfigures or planning your exit, this episode will give you tangible tools and mindset shifts to create long-term wealth on your terms.
