About me

That guy up there? That's me. Happy as a clam..


...Months later, I made a promise to myself but more on that soon!


I'm Gerardo Ruglio. Everyone calls me Dino. Even my parents...


This is the section where I should tell you how amazing I am. I could also say that I have 2 bachelor degrees, 1 masters degree in finance, 5 diplomas and I speak 4 languages. But I won't bore you with grand visions or fancy degrees


That's not my style


I'm an investor. I make money to buy time and freedom

That's my gig. Simple, right?


Change the world? Make spring cry with emotion? Not my thing


I'm just a normal guy


Why am I telling you this?


I've got two little rugrats


They still have baby teeth

I tuck them in with bedtime stories


When they were born, I held them close


Told them how proud I was of them and their mother


Nurses thought I was nuts. I didn't care


With my kids in my arms, we're invincible


The promise:


Panic hit when a top dog got fired like trash

No warning. No goodbyes. Just politics


Saw my suited-up colleagues freaking out

Fear in their eyes. Dog-eat-dog world


Life scared me. Not zombies or vampires

Just plain old life


My heart raced. My mind spun

Slowly, I caught my breath


My promise? No more suits and ties for work

Only for fun from now on


Months later


I started investing. Escaping the rat race

Slow and steady, like a mine tractor


Time passing doesn't bug me. Living does

Nothing beats enjoying your kids


Our kids are our only legacy


They say I should solve your problem. Connect

Alright then


I'll make you an investor. A good investment changes lives

But I'll be subtle. No hard sell


You're the star here, not me


I should tell a personal story. Build trust


I survived appendicitis in '92. I'm stronger now


Are you feeling close to me yet? You should


Here's the deal:


I'm not good at much...


I'm an investor. That's my superpower!


I've got dreams and nightmares


I love rain, coffee, wine, books, and my kids' artwork


I like living. That's all



Invest with zest

live with no rest

That's my quest
