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
