Career

In 2018 Michael Dinich launched his Media company Wealth of Geeks. He has worked in personal finance for over 20 years. Michael is passionate about personal finance, side hustles, and all things geeky.

Michael started in the financial service industry as an advisor helping retirees and soon-to-be retirees with retirement income planning. He had the opportunity to help some wonderful people build their dream retirements, which made it rewarding. However, it was also very demanding as clients expect a lot from you to earn their business, requiring long hours and meetings in the evenings and weekends.

He was pretty late to the blogging party, and the space was already crowded with many copycat-style websites. He studied the competition and noticed everyone was saying the same things in the same way.

Michael began brainstorming ways to present that same information in new ways and how to reach people not served by traditional financial media.

Since Michael Dinich found the advice on many financial blogs to be dry and judgmental, He figured that leaning into his geeky roots could help him stand out. Combining personal finance with entertainment and pop culture allowed him to put a modern spin on the same traditional content.
