About You
You’ve Built
Something Meaningful.
A business, a career, a full life. But with all of that, your financial life has become more complex—and less connected to your dream life.
You May Find
Yourself Asking:
“Now what?”
“How much is enough?”
“Am I on track?”
You Value Time More Than Money.
You want to be present for your partner, your kids, health, and your creative interests. You’re seeking clarity and a plan that lets you focus your energy on what matters most.
And most importantly, you're ready to live in a way that feels fully aligned—with your values, your goals, and vision of a life well lived.
If that sounds like you, we might work really well together.
I started this firm to walk with business owners and purpose-driven couples through a different kind of financial life planning—one that’s personal, intentional, and centered on the life they actually want to live.
My Core Values
Kindness
I lead with empathy, believing that meaningful planning begins with genuine care.
Truth
I tell the truth in simple terms, guiding clients with honesty over hype.
Tenacity
I stay committed through complexity with steady follow-through to every stage of your journey.
Sustainability
I believe real wealth is sustainable—for your money, time, energy, and the world around you.
Experience
I obsess over your experience so you can feel known, supported, and fully seen.
For more about me
Hi.
I’m Bryan Gum!
For the last decade, I served clients at a $1B+ planning firm in Kansas City—where I became the youngest Partner in the firm’s history at age 27.
As a Certified Financial Planner® Professional and Registered Life Planner®, I have had the privilege of guiding hundreds of clients through financial decisions both big and small. But somewhere along the way, a quiet voice started asking me if there was something more…
…at first, I ignored it. I told myself I had a great role, amazing clients, and good reasons to stay.
But the question kept resurfacing:
“What kind of life are you being called to build - for yourself and for others?”
When my wife Jillian and I began working with our own financial planner trained as a Registered Life Planner® (RLP®), it changed the way I saw this profession. I realized the most powerful financial advice doesn't start with money—it starts with listening to your inner voice and getting clear on your ideal life.
Through that work with our planner, and my own journey to become an RLP®, I finally had the space, time and intention to listen… and that quiet voice became a clear call: it was time to build something of my own.
My Approach
I help clients clarify what matters most, and then build a financial life to support it.
Clarifying your vision of an ideal life using the EVOKE® method
Building a cash flow plan that reflects your priorities
Optimizing decision making to protect your time
Managing investments using an evidence-based approach
Optimizing lifetime taxes, and thinking holistically about risk and legacy
Creating space for rest, creativity and meaning
Beyond The Work
Outside of Lighthouse, you’ll find me spending time with my wife Jillian and our dog, Lando.
I love staying active, so you’ll find me working out or cold-plunging at 2020FIT, playing padel at La Casa del Padel, or diving into a new creative project—editing travel videos, writing music, or working on our home. I’m a member of Amalfi, a members-only group of athletes, investors and entrepreneurs fueling growth through competition and camaraderie. I care deeply about helping people live into what they’re uniquely called to do. Some of the most talented people I know - artists, musicians, entrepreneurs - have been held back by financial stress or disorganization. I want to change that.
Because when money stops being a burden, it becomes a tool for freedom, creativity, and impact.
