About Our Guest:

At 25, Nate Lenz was the youngest vice president at Raymond James Financial Services, where he led the succession planning and acquisition team and helped recruit financial advisers from large, full-service brokers, providing them with the support they needed to grow their own businesses independently. That work helped shape his vision for Concurrent, which he co-founded in 2016 in Tampa, Florida, to build a better business model for advisers looking to go it alone. “Concurrent is a service provider to advisors that helps them make the jump to independence,” Lenz said.
