In this episode of Founders Future, with host Ammar Elm, we sit down with Jeff Hulett, Founder & President of Personal Finance Reimagined (PFR), who’s bridging the gap between institutional decision-making and everyday financial literacy. A behavioral economist with 30+ years in banking and risk management, Jeff reveals how PFR’s unique "decision-first" approach helps students, content creators, and startups navigate complex financial choices—not through memorization, but by building scalable decision systems. From licensing patented software to universities to pioneering a "skin-in-the-game" fractional CFO model for early-stage businesses (where PFR takes equity + revenue share), Jeff unpacks why delayed gratification problems require radically different solutions than today’s instant-satisfaction economy.
Jeff also shares why content creators are PFR’s fastest-growing client segment, how neuroscience informs their financial education frameworks, and the counterintuitive truth that "success is a lagging indicator of your decisions." Whether you’re an entrepreneur struggling with cash flow, an educator rethinking financial literacy, or a founder scaling through uncertainty, this episode offers actionable insights on turning decision science into competitive advantage.
