WHO WE ARE
Born from Legacy.
Built for the Future.
Our Story
Founded by Patrick Dodds, The Tailwind Network carries forward his vision that no advisor should walk alone. Pat invested his life in empowering, coaching, and encouraging others. His legacy lives on in advisors who say things like:
“Pat believed in me before I believed in myself.”
– Advisor reflection
“This network is his vision, still alive today.”
– Team member reflection
The Tailwind Network Overview
Our Mission
We connect financial advisors by sharing ideas, building relationships, and sharpening one another... creating the tailwind to thrive independently, yet together.
Our Values
01
Engaged
There’s a reason we have more legs than we do hind-ends. We will not sit by and watch - we will get up, and participate.
02
Thirsty
Pursuing the best version of ourselves with relentless effort yields an insatiable thirst. Be thirsty.
03
Grateful
We extract the good from where we are, reflect on how we got there, and acknowledge those who have helped us.
04
Coachable
Knowing it all is just proof that we know nothing at all. We listen to each other and cultivate growth together.
05
Generous
Being generous is not exclusively tied to money. Our knowledge and time are powerful tools to help those around us. We will not operate under a scarcity mindset.
Independence
≠ Isolation
Independent,
Yet Together
Why It Matters
Advisors today face a lot of headwinds: compliance regulations, case structure complexities, and the challenge of balancing business with personal life. The Tailwind Network provides clarity, care, and community so no advisor builds alone.
And because we believe advisors should never feel like just a number, The Tailwind Network ensures advisor voices are heard at the highest levels — building trust and shaping a stronger future together.
