01
Connect meaning to your money.
When I did that, I finally had a reason to go make more of it — and do more good with it.
DERRICK KINNEY
About Derrick
YOU WANT A SPEAKER YOUR AUDIENCE ACTUALLY CONNECTS WITH.
Someone who gets them. And gives them something they can use. That's what Derrick Kinney does.
The Origin Story
I'VE BEEN OVERLOOKED TOO.
I know what it feels like to work hard, do great work, and still feel overlooked by the clients you most want to attract. Because I've been there too.
I didn't grow up with much. I had to figure it out on my own.
Eventually, I became the first millionaire in my family at 37, became the top fee-based advisor at a national broker-dealer with 10,000+ advisors, and built and exited one of the nation's Top 1% advisory firms.
Today, I help financial advisors, entrepreneurs, and business owners attract better clients and clearly communicate their value.
You don't have to figure this out alone.

The Shift
TWO THINGS CHANGED EVERYTHING.
02
Own a problem.
I stopped saying, "I'm a financial advisor." I started talking about real problems people were dealing with. Conversations opened up. People leaned in. The right clients started saying yes.
What Makes Derrick Different
MOST SPEAKERS SHARE IDEAS.
MOST SPEAKERS SHARE IDEAS.
DERRICK GIVES THEM WORDS.
You don't lose opportunities because of what you do. You lose them because of what you say.
Simple language
They'll learn the exact phrasing to use with the clients they want to win — language they can use the same week.
Real conversations
Not theory. Practical scripts and openings drawn from the conversations advisors actually have every day.
Practical shifts
Small communication changes that compound into outsized results — better clients, faster.
They don't just listen — they'll use it.

Because the ideas are immediately useful — practical, scriptable, ready to apply.
