In financial advising, numbers matter — but values matter more. Anyone can run projections or design investment strategies. But the best advisors go deeper — they help people align their finances with what truly matters most to them. Because when money follows purpose, everything changes. Decisions become clearer. Goals become personal. And financial planning turns into something far more meaningful — a reflection of someone’s values, not just their balance sheet. That’s why purpose is at the heart of everything we do. Because this work isn’t just about managing wealth — it’s about helping people live out what they believe in. If that kind of work speaks to you, let’s talk about how you can build a career where purpose and prosperity meet.

Behind every strong career is a strong support system. No matter how driven, ambitious, or focused you are — none of us do it alone. It’s the people who stand beside you that make all the difference. For me, it’s family — the ones who celebrate the highs, steady you through the lows, and remind you why you’re working so hard in the first place. They’re the reason balance matters. They’re the reason achievement feels meaningful. And they’re the reminder that success without connection isn’t really success at all. In this business, I’ve seen time and again that when people feel supported — at home and at work — they thrive. That’s the kind of environment I’m committed to building for every financial advisor on our team. Because when your career and your family both get the best of you… that’s when life feels full.

Plan your finances for the people, causes and community you love | Thrivent

People who truly care about others make the best financial advisors. This career isn’t about products or portfolios — it’s about people. It’s about sitting across the table from someone who’s unsure about their future and helping them feel confident again. The best advisors don’t just listen to numbers. They listen to stories. They notice the small details. They remember what matters most to their clients. And they show up — not because it’s their job, but because they genuinely care. When you care deeply about others, everything changes. Conversations become meaningful. Relationships become lasting. And success becomes a byproduct of service. 👉 If you’re someone who leads with empathy, compassion, and a heart for helping others, you already have the most important quality of a great advisor. Email me at chris.poer@thrivent.com or call 701-866-9896 — I’d love to show you what’s possible when you build a career around caring.

Plan your finances for the people, causes and community you love.

There’s a kind of satisfaction you can’t measure in numbers. It’s not about commissions, awards, or production goals. It’s the quiet reward that comes from truly helping someone. Like the moment a family realizes they can afford college for their kids. Or when a widow feels relief knowing her spouse’s planning provided security. Or when a client walks out of your office lighter — because they finally have clarity and confidence about their future. That’s the kind of fulfillment that lasts. It’s what makes this work more than a career — it’s a calling. If you’ve ever wanted to make a living by making a difference, it’s worth exploring what a career in financial services could look like for you.

What kind of accomplishments fill your cup? For some, it’s closing a big deal or hitting a revenue milestone. For others, it’s being recognized publicly or getting that next promotion. For me, the moments that truly fill my cup are quieter — watching a team member grow into their potential, seeing a family find clarity in their financial future, or hearing someone say, “you really helped me today.” Those are the moments that remind me why I do what I do. Accomplishment isn’t just about achievement — it’s about impact. Because when your work fills your cup instead of emptying it, you’re in the right place. So, what kind of accomplishments fill your cup? 📞 If you’re looking for a career that brings both purpose and prosperity, let’s talk.
