“North Fulton Business Radio” is broadcast from the North Fulton studio of Business RadioX®, located inside Renasant Bank in Alpharetta. Renasant Bank has humble roots, starting in 1904 as a $100,000 bank in a Lee County, Mississippi, bakery. Since then, Renasant has grown to become one of the Southeast’s strongest financial institutions with approximately $12.9 billion in assets and more than 190 banking, lending, wealth management and financial services offices in Mississippi, Alabama, Tennessee, Georgia and Florida. All of Renasant’s success stems from each of their banker’s commitment to investing in their communities as a way of better understanding the people they serve. At Renasant Bank, they understand you because they work and live alongside you every day.

Campus-Advisers

Campus Advisers has been a leader in the field of college planning since 2001. We are proud to have helped more than 4,000 families recognize and afford the best college match, i.e. not borrowing your future!

We focus on “THE COLLEGE MONEY TALK?” because there are some conversations that are hard for families to have.

The reality is that every parent wishes they had more saved and started saving earlier. You don’t want to let your kids down. That is every parent’s worst fear. You are not alone!

Having a realistic money conversation as a family will keep hearts from being broken and ensure that your student graduates with manageable student debt, without robbing mom and dad’s retirement or delaying your student’s adult decisions such as travel, cars, houses, marriage, and family.

IT STARTS BY KNOWING YOUR SCORE!

Lisa-Hullinger-on-Phoenix-Business-RadioXLisa Hullinger is a College Planning Specialist and the primary contact for Campus Advisers. She has been with Campus Advisers since 2012. As a University of Arizona alum and mother of two college-aged daughters, Lisa is a beneficiary of the Know Your Score process.

In addition to working with students and their families throughout the college journey, Lisa also assists individuals in choosing their best Medicare and Long-Term Care insurance options. She’s been a licensed agent since 2008.

In 2017, she launched Campus Realities, a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization. Campus Realities was formed out of necessity to be the source of awareness and education around the $1.5 trillion of growing student debt. Our goal is to help students and their families make better college and loan decisions before they are capsized with unforgivable debt that cannot be discharged. As President, Lisa manages the daily operations as well as any fundraising activities.
