Good Life Financial Advisors started in 2012 as a means to provide financial planning tools, products, and resources to families and individuals throughout middle America. Founder Conor Delaney then took this idea nationally, seeking advisors who approached their marketplaces with the mindset of servant leadership. By coupling the Good Life resources designed to create efficiency and support for independent financial advisors with advisors aiming to serve their communities instead of Wall Street and New York’s, Good Life has been able to make an impact on dozens of communities across the country. By design, Good Life’s home office support staff is energetic, experienced, and prides itself on bringing a blue-collar work ethic to a white-collar job. Top-down, and bottom-up, Good Life’s desire to create a path to financial independence for the mass affluent is the overarching goal that permeates through the organization. By doing this well, Good Life remains one of the premier financial advisors and supported independent firms in the country.
