Chisholm Broadband, a growing telecommunications provider located in Oklahoma, faced a challenge familiar to many businesses: supporting employees’ financial wellbeing across different life stages and needs.
“Our population is very diverse,” said Megan Brailsford, who supports HR at Chisholm. “We have some older employees, some younger, and our infrastructure and installation teams are always out in the field.”
Leadership, especially Owner and CEO, Brian Lamoreaux, recognized that financial stress was a common thread among employees—regardless of age, role, or background. He wanted to do something about it.
“We wanted to help our employees have a better financial outlook. We just wanted something to help everybody have a little more financial peace of mind.” – Megan Brailsford
What Chisholm needed wasn’t just another online resource hub. They wanted a comprehensive solution that combined human interaction with customized tools to meet each employee’s unique financial literacy level and goals.
“It is a struggle for every person in every aspect of life to get your finances under control... We looked for a learning system where they could not only talk to somebody without judgment, but also find resources specific to each person.”
For Megan and many of her coworkers, the idea of budgeting or managing debt had always felt overwhelming—until YML came into the picture.
“I always hoped that I could do a budget... but it gets overwhelming and I’m just like, ‘I’ll deal with it later.’ But [YML] made it easy to pull in all of my spending and accounts to see where I’m actually overspending and can adjust things.”
Chisholm Broadband chose Your Money Line because it was not only a tool—it was a human-centered financial wellness solution. Employees could speak with financial guides, access educational content, and use technology to create real, actionable plans.
Key benefits included:
“Just seeing that tangible end of the stress you’re under has been a big deal... Like, if you commit to this monthly credit card payment and don’t use it again, you can get it paid off by June 2026.”
To ensure adoption, Chisholm went a step further. Brian implemented a company-wide policy allowing employees to take two paid hours once a quarter to use YML during work hours.
“He wants to make sure that people not only have the opportunity, but they actually get to use it... I think they’ve gotten used to that now. They look forward to that time.”
This approach reinforced the message that financial wellbeing isn’t a luxury—it’s a workplace priority.
From reducing debt anxiety to helping employees visualize and work toward home ownership, YML is creating a ripple effect across Chisholm Broadband.
Even employees’ families are benefiting.
“At least one of our employees’ spouses uses it as well. That probably helps promote financial wellness in their homes.”
For Megan personally, YML turned financial stress into confidence and momentum.
“It’s kind of like a financial therapist, I guess... helping me focus on goals I had in my head, but couldn’t put down on paper.”
Chisholm Broadband’s story is proof that you don’t need a massive workforce to make a meaningful investment in financial wellness. By choosing Your Money Line, they empowered a diverse team—spread across states and stages of life—with the tools and support to thrive.
“I think anybody would benefit from it. Anybody that wants more information about financial goals, or just understanding things like taxes or insurance. It’s a real benefit to anybody.”
