It all started with a dream and a team: To grow financial professionals’ practices by partnering them with a team of talented marketers and industry veterans.
“Be where your feet are. Don’t dwell in the past or stress over things that have already happened or may happen. Just be in the moment and focus on the here and now. Be happy today. Work hard today. Love each other today. We can’t change yesterday and none of us are promised tomorrow.”
– Stephen Odom, CEO

We transform independent financial advisors into successful, self-sufficient entrepreneurs with practices that can compete against the world’s largest corporations. We also help Americans retire with added confidence by empowering independent financial advisors in their local communities and working with insurance companies to design and distribute innovative products.
The main reason financial advisors and insurance professionals come to work with us? The people and the partnership.

Our History
We joke that we’re a 10-year-old startup simply because of the passion and drive that continues to steer our business. We are hands-in-the-pile cheerleaders for our advisors’ practices and simultaneously their business and marketing coaches. Dedicated to constant growth and innovation, you’ll see how we came to be the dynamic team we are today in the timeline below.
“Finding the Impact Partnership and working with them helped grow my practice and build a team of people around me, as if they were in my back office helping me with marketing, operations, and sales.”
