Meet Mike & Katie
Michael Chapman and Katie Ives of Good Life Financial Advisors of NC launched their practice with Good Life’s supported independence model in 2021 and never looked back. With decades of industry experience,
they describe their last three years as truly transformational.
Their practice, their way.
Mike and Katie’s decision to join Good Life was driven by a desire for something they couldn’t find at their wirehouse: true ownership with comprehensive support. At Good Life, they found:
Business Ownership
The freedom to become owners while maintaining access to professional support.
Expanded Service Portfolio
Expanded offerings, especially in insurance and Medicare, to meet diverse client needs.
Client flexibility
Ability to work with clients regardless of asset size, removing barriers to service.
Hassle-Free Office Setup
Turnkey office solution without the headaches of real estate negotiations.
“We are independent, but we still have an entire team to support us in all facets of the business. These are professionals who are in-house, at the tips of our fingers, and they know us and our business.”
Transitioning your practice isn’t about taking a leap, it’s about taking control.
At Good Life, we eliminate uncertainty by ensuring compliance, technology, and operations are fully in place before you move.
Many advisors delay their transition due to fear of disruption, but the right partner removes those risks before they happen.
With 96% of expected AUM retained within 90 days, our structured transition keeps your momentum going while giving you the independence to build your practice your way. No downtime. No guesswork. Just a fully operational, growth-ready business from day one.
