Welcome to Building Generational Wealth—a podcast series for the everyday person. Whether you’re just starting your financial journey or rewriting your money story, this space is for you. Women and men. Millennials and Boomers. Gen X and Gen Z. Every race, background, and identity. Because financial literacy should be inclusive, accessible, and empowering for all.

We’re facing one of the most financially unstable times in modern history. Debt is soaring, inflation is biting, and wages aren’t keeping pace. Millennials hold just 4.6% of U.S. wealth. Gen Z is stepping into adulthood burdened by debt and locked out of homeownership. Meanwhile, $84 trillion is set to change hands in the largest wealth transfer ever. The question is: Will you be ready to receive, grow, and protect it—or be left behind? This is your moment to rise.

Through honest conversations with leading financial minds, we’ll show you how to build wealth patiently, intentionally, and wisely. It’s not about chasing trends—it’s about creating lasting security. Because if you don’t take care of your money, your money won’t take care of you.

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.
