When life forced her to face the hard cost of being unprepared, Mariana Antunano made a decision. After nearly two decades building a six-figure career in entertainment and investing in real estate, she realized assets alone are not a plan. Her father’s cognitive decline in 2018 and passing in 2022 showed her how quickly everything can change without clear protection. That season lit a fire. Today, Mariana helps Individuals and Families convert income into security, so they can rely on their future with confidence.

Mariana’s path sharpened her resilience. She left home to earn an MFA in the United States, learned a second language, and rebuilt from scratch after graduation. That hunger to adapt and do things the right way shapes how she serves each client. Her standards are simple: integrity, transparency, and clarity. She operates with a fiduciary mindset, putting the client first and focusing on practical steps that protect income, plan for retirement, and secure a legacy.

Early exposure to captive environments confirmed what she didn’t want. After an initial approach from New York Life and a brief stint at WFG, Mariana rejected pushy recruiting and one-size-fits-all scripts. She chose a client-first path aligned with Xtreme One and the High Ticket Premium philosophy she discovered through Danny Singson. The goal is not to sell products. The goal is to remove friction and give families a clear, customized plan they understand and trust.

What does that look like in real life? Mariana helps clients eliminate risk where it is unnecessary, cut hidden fees that drain growth, and minimize taxes that quietly erode wealth. Education comes first. Complexity gets simplified. Each recommendation is tailored to the household’s priorities, timelines, and tolerance for uncertainty. Families leave conversations with peace of mind and a step-by-step path they can follow. This client-centric, de-risked approach mirrors the strongest themes found in proven personal articles across Xtreme One’s network.

Mariana measures success by outcomes that matter at home. Can you keep more of what you earn? Can you retire on time without anxiety? Can you protect the people you love even when life swerves? Her daily spiritual practice and commitment to balance keep her centered, present, and patient in every conversation. Clients feel heard. Plans fit their real lives. Trust grows because the process is built on empathy and clarity, not ego.

Looking ahead, Mariana’s vision is direct. Help more Individuals and Families build durable security. Teach financial literacy earlier. Make money management approachable and even enjoyable. Over the next five years, she aims to scale her impact while keeping the personal touch that sets her apart. If you want a partner who puts your interests first and gives you a plan you can actually follow, this is your next conversation.
