About Connor Robertson:

Connor Robertson began his business journey in a place you wouldn’t expect: by going to the chiropractor after years of spinal pain, following an accident. Connor decided that the relief he felt was worth spreading, obtaining his doctorate as a chiropractor in college, motivated and funded by his family.

But Connor soon realized that his interests didn’t lie in chiropractic, deciding to turn a total 180 degrees and invest in a tech company, which is now a fully grown, multi-service business. Connor also used research along with trial and error to become nothing short of an expert on how to handle tax rules the right way. Now, Connor is also host of his own podcast where he shares his knowledge with clients and friends alike from his booming tech experience.
