Nexstar Network Walks Away from 50% of Its Revenue to Stay True to Its Mission
An HVAC Minute Video Update: October 13, 2025
Nexstar Network just made a bold move in the home services history — it walked away from nearly half of its revenue. The reason? To protect its mission. After private-equity-backed companies grew from 10% to nearly a third of Nexstar’s membership, CEO Julian Scadden made a choice most leaders wouldn’t dare: cut ties with every single one. It wasn’t about money. It was about purpose. Scadden said, “Growth without purpose is cancer. It spreads. It consumes. It kills the host.” Instead of chasing numbers, Nexstar is doubling down on what it was built for — helping independent contractors grow, one van, one technician, one dream at a time. Some call it risky. Others call it revolutionary. What do you think?
