Meet Conor
Father of Sixteen, CEO, Author, and Speaker
My academic pursuit began at the Franciscan University of Steubenville, where I earned a BA in Philosophy, cultivating a penchant for critical thinking and a profound grasp of foundational principles. Building upon this, I earned a JD from Catholic University, Columbus School of Law, equipping me with a comprehensive legal framework to tackle intricate challenges. Simultaneously, I earned an MA in Philosophers from Catholic University. This was an uncommon pair and unconventional academic pursuit, but one that I am eternally grateful for.
Commencing my journey, I had the esteemed privilege of serving as a law clerk to the federal judge, Honorable Robert Conrad, Jr. This opportunity not only provided invaluable insights into the intricacies of the legal system but also laid the groundwork for my future endeavors. It was a privilege and an honor to work for Judge Conrad.
In 2007, I came to work for a small start up called Saint Benedict Press that my father, Bob Gallagher and his business partner had begun. My first endeavor was attempting to purchase TAN Books, a catholic publishing company, out of bankruptcy. After more than a year of effort and prayer, we prevailed. Ever since that day, I have been committed to running the most efficient, highest quality business possible for the well-being of my customers, employees, and my family, all for the greater glory of God. Years later, I assumed the position of Chief Executive Officer of our group of family businesses, Good Will Publishers Holding Company.
In 2021, my brothers and I launched a new start up, Good and True Media, a children’s publishing company and the creator of The Bible Crate. In 2024, I am launching my newest initiative, The Well-Ordered Family, which is a family management system in order to reclaim clarity and order in your family life. Through visionary leadership, I continue to lead these enterprises to new levels of success. What’s more, is that through these companies, I am able to lead souls to Christ. Our family business gives me a profound opportunity and responsibility — one that I do not take lightly.
My contributions extend beyond corporate realms; my authored works encompass a range of compelling family and religious literature, complemented by my role as a captivating public speaker.
Leveraging insights gained from my Kolbe A-Index certificate, I have honed my leadership skills by understanding not only my own strengths and weaknesses but also those of the individuals I work with.
Ashley, Myself and Our Sixteen Children
Yes, you read that correctly. My wife and I have 16 children. Our life isn’t quite as odd or bizarre as you might imagine. We have many of the same strengths and weaknesses as smaller families. But the amount of people to contend with has taught us a thing or two about focus, purpose, and what really matters most. Ashley and I hope to share this insight with others.
