Insights into Growing a Professional Practice

Andrew Blundell

Building a successful practice demands more than technical skill—it calls for relentless commitment, strategic mindset shifts, and the courage to delegate. In this episode of The Cut, host Andrew Blundell sits down with Nick Hitchens, founder of Hitch Advisory, to trace his rise from managing distressed pub sales to advising on high-stakes M&A deals.

What You’ll Learn:

Why the First Five Years Matter: Most firms plateau or fail around year five. Nick explains the “all-in” mentality required to push through that critical period.
Delegation as a Growth Engine: Clinging to every task breeds burnout. Discover how entrusting your team can free you—and your firm—to scale.
Redefining Success: Beyond revenue, true success means building a capable team, creating opportunities, and making a lasting impact.

Whether you’re leading a professional services firm or scaling a specialist team, this conversation will shift how you think about leadership, growth, and long-term achievement.
