Steve McMillon
CEO/Founder
Steve McMillon is the CEO and founder of The League of Advisors. He started our firm with a vision of an Independent agency that works on behalf of the client to coach their and help them implement strategies that can be valuable components of a financial plan. Now, more than two decades into his career, he's proud to be the majority owner and to serve each of our clients with the distinct goal of meeting, and exceeding, their needs.
He currently holds his life, health, and property and casualty insurance licenses in nearly 20 states across the US. Over the course of more than 20 years, he has seen the insurance industry evolve and expand to become more client centric, While these options used to be used specifically for protection in the event of the worst, they can now provide the policyholder with more flexibility.
During my entire career, I've heard the exact same sentiment. I've heard that insurance products are overly expensive and provide little help unless you absolutely need them," Steve says. "Now, however, they can actually be useful for both growth and protection, and they can be a useful source of retirement income. What we often find is that our clients don't understand just how much risk they incur, or if they're even able to tolerate that level of risk. We help each person we meet with assess their risk levels, as well as how it matches with their goals and asset totals."
A former athlete himself, Steve is passionate about helping athletes retire comfortably and fight what he believes is the biggest epidemic sweeping the sports community. He says, "Far too many athletes retire without a plan. And even more start their careers without a plan for how they'll use that money. That's the main reason so many athletes are broke just years after they retire, despite the fact that they were paid handsomely during their careers in sports. We help our athlete clients navigate the world of insurance solutions and more to plan for their retirement and create income streams that can preserve their funds We also work to educate them about their money and how to properly use it, ideally showing them its limited nature and how important it is to preserve their resources.
Steve is also passionate about providing complete service. He founded our firm knowing he wanted to assess each piece of a person's financial plan. "We're not here to offer cookie-cutter solutions," Steve says. "We're here to listen, and when a client discusses the troubles they face or the goals they want to accomplish, it's our job to find what we believe to be the best answer. After all, this is their livelihood, and it's our duty to conduct ourselves with honesty, integrity, and value-oriented service
Steve was born and raised right here in the beautiful state of Colorado. Even when he attended the University of Wyoming, he considered Colorado his home, and he has so much love for this state, its environment and its people. In addition to being an accomplished financial professional, Steve was a star football player for the Wyoming Cowboys, earning all-conference honors as a cornerback. He also achieved his bachelor's degree in speech and hearing sciences. He even went on to play in the National Football League before transitioning into financial services
He still considers football such a big part of his life, influencing his values both as a person and as an advisor, "There's so much more crossover than I think anyone would believe," Steve says "When you walk out onto that field, you're not fighting for yourself. You're battling for the ten guys who are out there with you. It's the perfect game to show you what people can do when they put their heads together and chase a goal. It works the same way in our office. Whether I'm working with our team or I'm working with a client, we're one unit pursuing a common goal and placing the greater good above all.
Steve is married to his beautiful wife of nearly 40 years, and together, the two have three children and eight grandchildren. He spends most of his free time with his family, oftentimes traveling, training, playing music and more. "Family is everything to me," he says. "And I know my clients feel the same way, which is why I treat them like family. They're doing their best for the people they love, and they want to succeed so they can give their loved ones the life they deserve. Each day, I want to leave the office knowing I did everything I could to make that possible.
He is also extremely active in his community, mentoring at-risk, under-represented boys in elementary school. Additionally, he plays percussions at his church, showing him the power of both his music and his spirituality, Steve says, "My faith is so important to me because I know how God has impacted my life and my business. When I speak to those in my church, or even the kids in my community, I tell them about my experiences and how my faith gave me the motivation to keep pursuing my dreams, It pushed me to make my dreams come true in the NFL, and it still drives me to do right by my clients as an advisor.
