MEET GIANG NGUYEN

Who Am I?

I am Giang Nguyen and I have two beautiful kids. My family immigrated to the United States after the Vietnam War. My parents came here with nothing in their pockets, hoping the American Dream would come true for us.

My brothers and I were taught to go to school get a good job then everything would fall into place, but the one thing that was never taught to us was how money works.

Seeing my parents struggle for years and constantly fighting over money, taught me at an early age that I didn’t want to fight with my wife about money when I got married.

So I went searching for a platform that would provide us with this much-needed financial education.

My corporate lifestyle, things needed to change.

I did exactly what my parents told me to do so that I could be successful in America. I went to school, got a degree in mechanical engineering, and became a mechanical design engineer in the HVAC industry.

As an engineer, I was making more money than my parents ever made when they first immigrated here , but I felt like something was still missing. Even though I was making more then my parents, I was still trading my time for money.

I realized that if I stopped working then the money would stop too. I wanted to understand money so that I could have my money work hard for me instead me working hard for my money.

How I got started in this industry...

My concern arose when I saw my father-in-law needing to retire early to take care of my mother-in-law after her Parkinson’s disease diagnosis. I began to worry that if my wife were to develop Parkinson’s in the future, I might also have to retire early to support her. The assistance my father-in-law offered was classified as long-term care, which, regrettably, isn’t covered by health insurance or Medicare. After a friend introduced me to a solution for my long-term care needs, she also invited me to explore financial education with her, prompting me to get involved and learn as much as I could.

I transform the knowledge I've gained into a business by sharing it with others in similar circumstances and assisting them in executing their long-term care strategies. I am deeply committed to educating people about financial principles, as I never received this education myself. I aim to address the oversight of the traditional financial industry, which often neglects middle-class individuals. My goal is to provide financial education to everyone, empowering them to make informed financial decisions that can positively affect their lives and potentially benefit future generations.

Now my goal in life

is to empower everyday families with a strong financial education, ensure they have the right protections in place, and offer them the chance to establish their own financial practice if they wish. We serve as financial advisors for the typical family, bridging the gap between Wall Street and Main Street by imparting the financial knowledge that only a select few have had the opportunity to learn.

Our emphasis is on developing and nurturing leaders who will establish and manage their own broker-dealer firms within their communities in the financial sector. My wife and I work together in our business, and we recognize the opportunity to create something of our own that we can eventually pass down to our children, rather than adhering to the conventional path of going to school and securing a job that my parents encouraged.
