Nucleus Advisors is the Difference
Makers’ Difference Maker™

Our mission is to locate and connect with the world’s NextGen entrepreneurs, artists, athletes, and advocates – each creating a legacy in their own unique ways – as we share our wisdom with the world.

OUR VALUES

DEPTH

 

We are a highly diverse team of normal people, who have come from normal places, that for some reason or another chose to do the best we can at whatever we do—so we grade ourselves, own the grade, adjust and get back to work. Along the way we are often ranked by professional financial publications. They rank us very high. Always higher than we rank ourselves.

DIRECTION

 

We are a team that focuses on direction, not intention. We own our past and love leaning into learning from it, but we live in the present and focus on the path in front of us—the one that leads to the best possible version of ourselves. That is why we pay attention to tension. In fact, we run toward the roar, or the whine, of tension—and listening, sensing, learning, feeling and being we transform tension into character and character into opportunity and opportunity into acquired wisdom and acquired wisdom into wise action.

CURIOSITY

 

We know we come into this world with all kinds of natural blind spots and confirmation biases—so we pay close attention to who we do life with. We believe that different sets of eyes, with different ways of contributing, shed light on new facets of any situation. Perhaps our orientation is why we are so helpful when it comes to decision making. We do not shy away from expressing the negatives any less than we covet momentum and the optimizing solution.

CONNECTION

 

We are a team that works hard to be WITH others—mostly by caring a lot, but also by letting go of the things that hold us back from the best version of ourselves. Letting go of things like “making a point” or labeling others. Perhaps that is why our team is filled with people that other people have an easy time being around.

WITHNESS®

 

What is Withness? One day someone we care about asked us why some of the  most obvious and important things were the hardest to see and talk about. We were flattered they would ask us about such an ancient riddle. We shared that mutually caring and productive relationships require kindness, patience, tolerance, optimism, joy in the achievement of others, confidence in oneself—and using wisdom to help others create a life that is much larger than the individual and also positively impacts every relationship the person values. Then we smiled and said, “Of course, it is not in the power of any human to be all that all the time, but you can be WITH  others, no matter what.” We believe that is what makes all the  difference in the world and we call it WITHNESS®.

OUR HISTORY

 

Over the course of two+ decades Nucleus developed competencies in order to meet the demands of its clients. In the last several years, Nucleus’ specializations caught the attention of a host of accomplished leaders that are making a difference as artists, athletes, advocates, entrepreneurs and owner/operators

In response to the growing need for such services Nucleus approached the demand with a product mindset and a client-centric point-of-view

The result is fully integrated depth and direction of our wealth advisory practice with our trust, estate, tax, specialized risk management/insurance, and philanthropic competencies to help clients and their families manage their complex lifestyles.

THE NUCLEOTIDES

 

We are a team of teams—comprised of over 14 different small groups – our Nucleotides representing a multitude of backgrounds and orientations, each specializing in key elements of our practice.

As different as each of our Nucleotides is, together we focus on the singular path in front of us—never shying away from challenging ourselves, provoking dialogue or leading the way toward the intersection of what really works and what truly matters.

Nucleus stays connected to our clients and knows how to engage an audience because we rise above the “what now” moments—and lead others toward what is next. In fact, we transform tension into character, character into opportunity, opportunity into acquired wisdom and acquired wisdom into inspired action.
