Hi Vaulted Viewer,

Our latest podcast episode is here! This week, I had the pleasure of sitting down with one of my favorite people in the world, a person who also happens to be my cousin and business partner – Joe Lucia. Joe's journey is fascinating, and I’m excited for you to hear his story.

🎧 Episode Highlights:

From Malibu to Milan

Joe takes us back to his college days at Pepperdine University, located on the beaches of Malibu. In addition to all the sun and surf, Joe proved himself to be a go-getter from the start, working at a local gym and hanging out with some of Hollywood's elite.

The Wine & Spirits Entrepreneur

After college, Joe jumped headfirst into the wine and spirits industry. He tells us about flying to Italy, meeting with prestigious wine producers, and then getting to work building his own import business. Imagine being in your mid-20s and negotiating deals with major retailers like Costco and Trader Joe's!

A Pivot to Wealth Management

From there, Joe talks about his transition from the world of wine and spirits to the equally challenging field of wealth management. In this episode he talks about how he leveraged his sales skills and relationships to build a $2 billion wealth management firm.

The Bucket Strategy ®

Joe also talks about The Bucket Strategy ®, and the importance of having a steady, reliable cash flow regardless of current market conditions.  

Why You Should Listen

This episode is a masterclass in entrepreneurship, resilience, and the power of relationships. Joe's story demonstrates how, with some hard work and some good luck on your side, you can pivot and succeed in entirely new fields. Plus, if you're interested in financial planning, Joe also offers some tips and advice that you won't want to miss.

Vaulted Advice
For the Investor

I can’t but help that deep down I am and always will be a financial advisor. From time to time I plan on sharing financial strategies and concepts that I feel will be valuable to our subscribers.  

Vaulted Advice
For the Advisor

I have learned a lot over the years about the financial services industry. Financial advisors are small business owners balancing two roles, first being a financial advisor to their clients and second being a responsible business owner for their family, staff and their community. I plan on sharing financial industry content and my experiences to this select group of subscribers here.

Vaulted Advice
For the Connoisseur

We all have vices. Mine are fine whiskeys, cigars and thoroughbred horseracing. So if you are in to that, I will share what I'm up to recently to relax and enjoy my time away from the hustle.

Thank you for being a part of this journey. Together, we’ll unlock the secrets to success in money, business, and life.

Warm regards,

Ray Lucia Jr.
