Whitehaven, TN native, Nathan Ollie, is a financial advisor, nonprofit leader, tech entrepreneur and girl dad.

In 2007, Nate graduated from Whitehaven High School, where he excelled both academically in the top 10% of his class; and athletically being awarded local honors in basketball. Nate went on to continue his post-secondary academic and athletic journey at Rhodes College. It was there where Nate joined Kappa Alpha Psi Fraternity, Inc., a moment he considers a huge milestone in his life. Nate eventually graduated from the University of Memphis, earning a Bachelor’s Degree with a focus in Corporate Finance.

Since entering the workforce, Nate has gained valuable experience in many different industries and niches in places across the globe. Over the years, however, he realized that one of his top skillsets lied in helping people solve problems. As an experienced sales professional who has worked with some of the world’s largest brands, he now pursues his primary passion of mentoring and developing childhood education.

In November 2021, the Board elected Nate as their Chairman for the 100 Black Men of Memphis, an honor for which he is grateful and humbled to be able to serve his community in such a significant capacity.

Nate stepped into the tech world in June of 2021 when he acquired Write About--a K-12 education SaaS that is helping save literacy in schools nationwide. Write About is a web based software platform that schools can use to help develop their students into proficient writers, more effective communicators, and to strengthen their overall literacy skills. The software is designed to help schools develop their students into proficient writers, more effective communicators, and to strengthen their overall literacy skills. The ultimate goal is to help close the widespread student achievement gap.

Take a listen as Nate and I discuss his journey which consists of a very fickle market as it stands today. Ollie expresses there are numerous ways you can mitigate in this market and he's always looking for new clients. He's seeing an uptick in his client base in emerging industries such as social media influencers who are acquiring wealth. Nate says the key to excelling in the finance world is discipline and self mastery.
