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.

    Managing Partners, Wealth Managers
    Courtnie Nein & Conor Delaney
    Managing Partners, Wealth Managers

    Conor Delaney and Courtnie Nein of The Good Life Companies came together at their prior broker dealer back in 2007. Courtnie, a native to Berks County, Pennsylvania and Conor Delaney, a native to Monmouth County, New Jersey have built and maintained a practice committed to a high level of client service for the individuals, families, non-profits, businesses, and organizations which comprise their client base. Conor and Courtnie left their prior broker dealer to create their own firm with its own unique culture and identity. Good Life Financial Group was established to continue to provide the high level of service their clients have come to expect from the two founders. It was also established to serve as a place where other advisors in the community can move their practice and become part of the Good Life culture.

    At the heart of all of Conor and Courtnie's recommendations for their individual clients is a strategic plan. They recognize everyone has their own unique situation and set of circumstances. As Financial Advisors, Conor and Courtnie take each of their clients through the financial planning process to determine the most appropriate strategies and services to fit their needs. It is only at the conclusion of doing the plan that they will make actual recommendations. They specialize in wealth accumulation planning and risk management. 

    Courtnie and Conor take pride in developing personal relationships with their clients. Through life’s achievements and challenges, you and your family need a partner who has a genuine understanding of your specific needs based on a personal financial plan. By taking an approach that focuses on both health and wealth, Conor and Courtnie help their clients identify and live out their own personal good life however they define that.

    Delaney's motto is always "Family Comes First." He puts a contingency on that though because so much of his success in business has been centered around people who have become like family to him. A New Jersey native, Delaney moved to Pennsylvania full time in 2005 following the premature death of his father. In doing that, the closest "family" was over two hours away. Eight years later, he says that 90% of the people he interacts with on a day to day basis, regardless if clients, colleagues or community leaders, are like extensions of family to him.

    Delaney married his college sweetheart, Liz, in 2008. They have four children, Blake Seraphina, Rhys Brian, Elena Rae and Boston James. They enjoy distance running as a family and spending time with their brothers, sister, and nieces in New Jersey. Delaney is also a volunteer board member at the YMCA, and an active participant in the Lions Club, Greater Reading Chamber of Commerce and the Alvernia Alumni Association. 

    Courtnie has two sons, Graham and Colt. She enjoys working out and living a healthy lifestyle. Courtnie actively gives back to local students by educating them about business and real life experiences in the workplace. She is also a volunteer soccer coach to her sons’ youth teams.
