In this episode, we explore Trent Benedetti’s innovative approach to financial advising, which combines his expertise in traditional finance with timeless biblical wisdom. Trent begins by discussing the insights from his book's Prologue, focusing on the wisdom of Kings David and Solomon. He then delves into Chapter 1, where he outlines the "Financial Ten Commandments" and explains how these principles guide his wealth-building strategies. Drawing on his extensive background, including multiple securities licenses and a Master's degree in Biblical Theology, Trent offers a compelling perspective on how to align financial decisions with a higher purpose. Tune in as we learn how to "slay your financial giants" with Trent Benedetti.

Trent answers:

Where and how did you come up with the title of your book?

Prologue

• Throughout your journey, you mention the influence of Biblical wisdom and Main Street education. Can you elaborate on how these two seemingly different sources of wisdom complement each other in your approach to financial advising?
• You describe your wife Barbara's initial reluctance to participate in the faith-based financial programs you embraced. How did her eventual involvement and the lessons learned from Dave Ramsey’s Financial Peace University impact both your personal financial management and your approach with clients?

Chapter 1 - Biblical Principals and the Financial Ten Commandments

• Your book draws heavily on the wisdom of King David and King Solomon from the Old Testament. Could you share more about why you chose these two biblical figures to guide readers towards financial independence, and how their teachings specifically apply to modern financial principles?
• You mentioned that wisdom and education are crucial components of building wealth, as highlighted in Commandments 7 and 8. Can you elaborate on how individuals can effectively seek and apply wisdom and education in their financial journey, and perhaps share some practical steps or resources they can utilize?

 "I was able to determine that... that's the area that I wanted to serve humanity and give back the knowledge of financial wisdom and financial peace to people that are on this financial journey." — Trent Benedetti
