“I always have my faith, my family, and then my business,” says Lance Billings, Founder and Financial Advisor at Billings Group. This Disruption Blueprint episode features Lance Billings, who so powerfully weaves community, the love of his hometown, and his faith into building his business.

Salina, Kansas is home, it’s work, it’s family, it’s the center of everything Lance holds dear. Lance was born and raised in Salina. He raised his family there, started a business there, runs a business there, and will eventually pass the business on to family there. The Billings Group isn’t solely a wealth management firm, it’s a family-run business with deep community ties in Salina, Kansas.

Lance’s two son-in-law’s, Nathan Reynolds and Josh Kilsch, are also Financial Advisors with the Billings Group. Lance’s daughter, Alyssa Mitchell, spearheads client relations alongside an A-player operations team. Prior to founding the Billings Group, Lance watched and worked alongside his father, Larry R.
