Give It Away to Grow: How to Build a $4B Practice on Abundance | Nathan Bennett

In this episode, Shelby Nicholl sits down with Nathan Bennett, Managing Partner at Summit Financial Group, to unpack a radically different approach to growth—one rooted in abundance, not scarcity.

Nathan shares how his firm scaled to nearly $30 million in annual revenue and over $4 billion in assets by focusing on something most advisors struggle with: giving business away. Instead of chasing every opportunity, Summit empowers advisors to focus only on their highest-value relationships—while redistributing the rest to fuel collective growth.
