🟫 Preparing Your Kids For The Future Of College | Featuring Shellee Howard and Bryan Ward | Ep. 305
👉 My guest today is Shellee Howard, the founder and CEO of College Ready, a Certified Educational Consultant, two-time bestselling author, international speaker, and host of the Parents, Is Your Teen College Ready? podcast.
👉 Shellee helps high-achieving families navigate the often overwhelming college admissions process—without ending up buried in debt. What makes her approach so powerful is that it’s not just theory.
👉 As a single mother of four, she personally guided her children through the admissions journey—balancing academics, scholarships, and unique ambitions.
👉 From Ivy League halls to international study programs, her kids all graduated college completely debt-free.
👉 Now, Shellee takes that lived experience and proven system to families around the world.
👉 She works with busy professionals—doctors, lawyers, engineers, and business leaders—who want the very best for their teens but don’t have the time to figure it all out on their own.
👉 With her “Stand Out Strategy,” she aligns academic goals with financial planning, emotional readiness, and return on investment—so parents can confidently send their kids to the right school for the right reasons, without the crushing burden of loans.
👉 Her work has been featured on FOX, CBS, NBC, and in major national publications.
👉 Today, she’s here to share her insights on how families can create a clear path to college success, while building a legacy of financial freedom and opportunity for their children.
