Take away: Where you start has nothing to do with what you can achieve
Money Learnings: Alessandro grew up poor, moving back and forth between Sicily and the U.S. 4 times as a child. He was determined from a young age to understand money and not struggle financially as an adult.
Bio: Alessandro Tronco is living proof that the American Dream still exists. Born in Sicily, he immigrated to the United States at only six years old with nothing but his family’s hopes and dreams to guide him. After spending nearly a decade here, Alessandro returned to Sicily for six months and then returned to America by himself at fifteen years old with only five dollars in his pocket. Lack of experience and means didn’t stop him from chasing his ambitions. He attended Siena College and then began working as a Financial Advisor, rising quickly through the ranks to become one of the youngest Managing Partners in the company’s 166-year history. Through hard work and determination, Alessandro has gone from having only five dollars to his name to a success story.
Alessandro’s remarkable journey of determination and profound self-discovery not only shaped his perspective but also sparked the creation of his book, The Buddha Who Drove a Bentley. This  captivating narrative is a beacon of inspiration, exploring the transformative power of forgiveness, self-discovery, and true happiness. Fueled by his commitment to a clean lifestyle and dedication to sustainability, Alessandro also founded Spirit Water. This visionary endeavor is dedicated to empowering individuals to make informed decisions that prioritize their holistic well-being within the physical, mental, and spiritual aspects of their lives.
Alessandro is a compassionate philanthropist, hardworking  professional, and committed spiritual believer. He has dedicated his life to giving back to the community, supporting charitable organizations, and helping those in need. His enthusiasm for bettering the world sets him apart from others—he truly puts his heart into everything he does.
Highlights from this episode:
  • He worked in financial services and learned everything he could about managing money, saving, investing, insurance, etc. He credits this education with helping him build wealth.
  • After achieving outward success, Alessandro realized he had lost his soul and inner fulfillment along the way. This led him on a journey of self-discovery and writing his book “The Buddha Drove a Bentley.”
  • The book provides 15 lessons to live an authentic, purpose-driven life while also attaining material success. Key topics include self-forgiveness, generosity, mindfulness and realizing experiences matter more than possessions.
  • Recently Alessandro had a transformative experience doing plant-based medicine, which led him to stop drinking, gain clarity of purpose, start a water company called Spirit Water, and bring 9 family members from Italy to the U.S. for 3 life-changing weeks.
