## Resource

Physical fitness, crisply-made beds, chopping with high knees and precise execution are foundational principles that could get you through basic training in the United States Marine Corps. But what could those very tenents also teach anyone, even you, about finance? Sonoma Wealth Advisor Gaetano Bettinelli joins our house podcast It’s All Money to share his story as a Former Captain in the Marine Corps in Logistics: How and why he left home in Napa to attend the United States Naval Academy in Annapolis. Why the reality of what people in the Marine Corps are really like may surprise you. What his experience at the Leadership Laboratory can teach you about beginning your financial journey. Why “brilliance in the basics” may be one of the most important financial principles he learned at The Basic School. How his experience as a Logistics officer influences how he helps his clients today. We hope you enjoy this look at the unique background of one of our rising advisors at the firm.
