Jim and Beth Hood are the founders of Family Shield Estate Planning, the practical system behind their Live Memento Mori brand. They help families move from the anxiety of "what if" to the certainty of a household in order. They didn’t start as experts; they started as parents who realized their own plan was a collection of gaps and "we really shoulds." After years of negotiation, they finally stopped making excuses. They built their trust, secured their daughter’s future, and navigated the difficult details most families avoid. The clarity that followed was so profound it became their mission to help other parents achieve the same. Through the Family Shield System, Jim and Beth now guide families through the essential architecture of guardianship, trusts, and provision, alongside the "heart work" of preparing children for a future their parents might not see. Before launching their legacy work, Jim and Beth spent nearly two decades as entrepreneurs. On the Big Island of Hawaii, they co-founded an IT support company and a web design firm. Serving thousands of clients taught them a critical lesson: the devastating cost of being unorganized when a crisis hits. They saw firsthand how much people depend on their digital and financial lives being secure—and how few actually are. They are the co-authors of Test Drive Your Future and The Money Book for Kids. Like this book, those projects were born from their own experiences and a refusal to let other families suffer through unnecessary stress. Today, Jim and Beth live on an 18-acre homestead in the Arkansas Ozarks with their daughter, Nora, and a small army of animals—including a Great Pyrenees named Bear. While their eighteen years in Hawaii shaped their “aloha” spirit, their days are now spent homeschooling, managing their property, and helping parents across the country close the gaps in their plan. Live Memento Mori was built on a single conviction: families should be both fully present and fully prepared. Jim and Beth’s work ensures that for the families they serve, nothing essential is left unsaid, undone, or unprotected.
