Our sixth episode with Daniela Cambone and Michael Gentile, redefine what it truly means to build generational wealth. Neither born into privilege nor handed easy paths, their journeys are built on grit, relentless learning, and a clear sense of purpose.

Daniela Cambone, Global Media Director at ITM Trading, rose from zero financial experience to become one of the most trusted and influential voices in precious metals. Her sharp insights and candid interviews with top financial leaders bring clarity to complex markets.

Michael Gentile, a Montreal-based investor and father of five, discovered his passion for investing at just ten years old. Today, as co-founder of Bastion Asset Management, he manages over $550 million in assets, focusing on junior mining and small- to mid-cap equities across North America.

Together, they share powerful lessons: start before you’re ready—waiting for perfect conditions only delays your success. Invest in yourself fiercely—absorb knowledge, learn by doing, and let experience be your best teacher. Keep it simple, master the basics, and build habits that stand strong through market noise.

But their message goes beyond money. True wealth is multidimensional—rooted in health, family, values, and lasting impact. They challenge entitlement and stress passing down not just wealth, but work ethic, passion, and purpose.

Daniela and Michael also reveal the secret to confident investing: know your circle of competence, stay humble, and never stop asking questions. Above all, give back. Inspired by mentors who gave generously and quietly, they remind us that real greatness comes from lifting others as you rise.

Our fourth guest, Rick Rule, perfectly captures the spirit of this series on building generational wealth. Without inherited wealth or a formal financial background, Rick’s journey is a testament to grit, discipline, and relentless learning. Early in life, he faced adversity head-on, believing firmly that “how you overcome adversity is what matters.” This mindset shaped not only his approach to boxing but also his decades-long career in investing.

Rick’s success didn’t come from chasing flashy lifestyles or short-term gains. As he puts it, “I wasn’t interested in living rich. But I was interested in being rich.” By playing to his unique strengths and embracing a philosophy of honest optimism—summed up in his mentor Robert Friedland’s words, “The outlook is hopeless, but it’s not serious”—Rick forged a path defined by steady effort and resilience.

He emphasizes that true wealth begins with investing in yourself: your education, skills, and the community you build. “The sum of the community that you keep will determine your outcome,” Rick reminds us. His approach is rooted in timeless principles—saving, disciplined reinvestment, and living below your means—combined with an adaptive mindset that recognizes how tools like technology and social media create new opportunities.

Rick also delves into the critical role of trust and transparency in finance, distinguishing between fiduciaries and salespeople, and highlighting the power of mentorship and giving back. His warning about looming financial challenges, like the $100 trillion in unfunded U.S. social liabilities, underscores why it’s vital to focus on what you can control.

From humble beginnings to becoming a respected investor and mentor, Rick’s story shows that wealth is not just measured in dollars but in legacy, community, and purpose. His journey is a powerful reminder that true success comes from perseverance, continuous learning, and a mindset grounded in values—not just numbers.

In the third episode, we sit down with Daniela Cambone. She shares a hard truth many people are never taught: your salary alone will not make you rich.

Daniela, one of the most respected voices in financial journalism and the Global Media Director at ITM Trading, explains why relying on a paycheck—and saving money in the bank—is not enough to build lasting wealth.

With inflation eroding the value of your money and most people unaware of how currencies are devalued, the traditional approach to saving is broken. “We’re not taught about currency devaluation or that there’s a world beyond paper money. But there is—and that’s where wealth is built,” Daniela says.

This episode explores how anyone, regardless of background or financial experience, can begin to build wealth by making simple, intentional choices—like cutting unnecessary spending, asking better questions, and putting money to work in assets such as precious metals, stocks, or other long-term vehicles.

Daniela reminds us that building wealth is not about luck or hype—it’s about clarity, discipline, and curiosity. It starts with small steps, asking questions without fear, and surrounding yourself with people and information that challenge the status quo.

“Just start asking the questions. There are no stupid questions,” she encourages. We also talk about the deeper meaning of wealth: not just numbers in a bank account, but the values you live by, the legacy you leave, and the mindset you cultivate.

Daniela’s story—and her call for better financial education—is both practical and empowering. If you’re ready to stop relying only on your paycheck and start building wealth that lasts, this episode will give you the perspective and tools to take real control of your financial future—with confidence and purpose.

In the second episode, we sit down with Michael Gentile, a seasoned investor and passionate advocate for financial literacy. Together, we explore the fundamentals of building generational wealth—and the mindset required to sustain it.

Michael’s journey began with a spark: a grade school teacher who introduced him to the world of investing. That early influence, combined with timeless wisdom from icons like Warren Buffett and Charlie Munger, ignited a lifelong commitment to financial education and independence.

We dive into why financial literacy is so often missing from traditional education, and how self-education becomes a vital bridge for anyone seeking control over their financial future. Michael reminds us that true wealth isn’t built on hype or shortcuts.

Instead, it comes from disciplined, consistent habits—like saving regularly, investing patiently, and allowing compound growth to quietly work over time. “It’s not about getting rich quick — it’s about building habits that last a lifetime.”

This conversation goes beyond personal finance. Michael challenges us to think bigger—about how financial literacy shapes not only individual lives, but also society and public policy. In an increasingly uncertain world, understanding money is no longer a luxury—it’s a necessity.

Whether you’re just starting your journey or looking to strengthen your financial foundation, this episode offers practical, empowering insights to help you invest in yourself, take control of your future, and build lasting wealth with purpose and intention.

Our first guest, Peter Grandich, embodies the spirit of this series. His unlikely journey began with no formal education and managing a warehouse, but a small investment sparked a passion for the markets. After losing everything to the notorious penny stock brokers of the 1980s, Peter didn’t give up. He started an investment club that caught the eye of a brokerage owner. Despite doubts from loved ones, Peter became a stockbroker in an era when the business was little more than a desk, pad, and pen. His story is proof that grit, perseverance, and a hunger to learn can turn setbacks into lasting success. Peter also opens up about the often-overlooked struggles behind the financial world’s glamour, revealing the toll it took on his mental health: “In 2022… I actually lost a will to live. And it’s hard to imagine why, but that’s what it came to.” He reminds us that wealth isn’t just about money but about values and mindset: “Money is not the root of all evil — the love of money is.” From founding one of the first national investor relations firms to becoming known as the “Wall Street Whiz Kid,” Peter ultimately left Wall Street at his peak to pursue a life grounded in faith, humility, and purpose. His story shows that true wealth is about more than dollars—it’s about legacy, resilience, and meaning.
