We're diving into investing with Cale Smith, founder and CEO of Bastion Fiduciary, a veteran-led fee-only RIA, and portfolio manager for the Bastion Energy Fund, an actively managed ETF. As a graduate of the U.S. Coast Guard Academy, Cale brings a unique perspective shaped by both military service and decades in finance.

In this episode, he explains what a portfolio manager really does, the differences between ETFs, mutual funds, and index funds, and why most investors are better off keeping things simple. We also talk about leadership in investing, the biggest mistakes military families make with money, and why having a framework is essential for long-term success in the market.
