Adam Knorr left a safe finance career to become a writer. Moved to a coffee farm in Hawaii with no backup plan and accidentally built Influence Labs, an AI-backed LinkedIn writing coach and ghostwriting business that helps financial advisors grow inbound leads through authentic storytelling. In this episode Adam explains why advisors massively underestimate personal content, how parasocial relationships beat logos, the compliance and capability gaps that make his niche so powerful, and how Influence Labs turns his years of real post edits into an honest, results-driven editor for advisor drafts. If you’re building a personal brand or want repeatable LinkedIn growth, this conversation is a how-to loaded with practical tactics and mindset shifts.

Advisor Freedom is the podcast for financial advisors who want to learn what it really takes to build a thriving advisory career & what wealthy clients are actually doing with their money.

Hosted by ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Conner Young⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠, who launched his own independent RIA firm in 2021, the show shares real stories from advisors who’ve broken away, built their books from scratch, and refined their client service models through experience.

Each episode dives into how advisors got started, how they attracted their first clients, the systems they use today, and the best practices that help them grow.

We also open the doors to the other side of the table: interviewing high-net-worth investors, family offices, and entrepreneurs about the investments they love, the strategies they use, and the legacy they’re trying to build.

Whether you’re just launching your RIA, growing your practice, or exploring new ways to create generational impact, Advisor Freedom is your behind-the-scenes guide to building a business and a life of lasting value.
