MEET THE FOUNDER

Having made nearly every financial mistake imaginable during his own college experience, Know Money Founder Steven M. Hughes now dedicates his efforts to helping other young adults avoid the same pitfalls.

Steven is a Financial Therapist, Reiki Master Teacher, and Certified Financial Behavior Specialist®. As a leading expert in financial psychology and behavioral finance, he bridges the gap between our thoughts, emotions, and money habits. By integrating Reiki energy healing with financial education, Steven empowers his clients to cultivate clarity, confidence, and control over their finances. His work began over a decade ago, when he made every money mistake possible as a college student. Once he rebounded, he founded Know Money® to ensure every college student received the tools to take control of their money.
A recognized voice in financial media, Steven serves as the on-air money expert for CBS-WLTX in Columbia, South Carolina. He has appeared on CNBC's Your Money and CBS Money Watch. His work can be seen on campuses including the University of Texas at Austin and the University of Pittsburgh, to elevate financial wellness initiatives for students, faculty, and employees. Steven holds degrees from Clemson University (B.S.) and Creighton University (CFBS). After traveling the U.S. as a digital nomad, he lives in Atlanta, GA, but will always call Columbia, SC, home.
