Matt Theriault was introduced to me through my close friend Rob Kosberg, who hosts a podcast sharing tips for writing your first book. Rob's introductions are always to fantastic individuals, and that's exactly what I found in Matt. This episode is all about investing in real estate, so if you're looking to start building your own real estate portfolio, this is the perfect episode for you.
Matt has a remarkable story. He was making millions in his early thirties in the music industry, feeling confident and untouchable. However, the sudden shift in the industry left him jobless and broke at 33 years old, forcing him to take a job as a grocery store bagger just to make ends meet.
It was a colleague who introduced Matt to real estate and he never looked back. He went from filing for bankruptcy to now being financially free, living off the income from his successful real estate business and portfolio. Today, Matt's passion is teaching others how to achieve financial freedom through real estate investing, just like he did.
In this episode, you will learn:
Here's a preview from the episode:
What is Seller Financing?
"Seller financing is when you purchase a property and become the lender, while the seller takes on the role of the bank. As long as you make the payments, the deed will eventually transfer fully to you. However, if you fail to make payments, the seller has the right to foreclose just as a bank would."
Building Wealth
"The conventional approach to building wealth is to work hard every day and accumulate a large sum of money, with the hope that it will eventually generate a passive income stream. However, if you focus on creating the stream first, you can attain financial independence much faster."
Myth Busting
In every episode, I ask my guest to bust a myth. Matt debunks the myth that "it takes money to make money." He believes that it's more about your intellectual currency and relationships that have a greater impact on your success, rather than actual dollars.

On this week's WW Podcast, I was joined by my close friend and renowned health expert, Dr. Elena Villanueva, also known as Dr. V.
Dr. V is a sought-after international speaker and influencer in the health industry. She is the producer and host of several groundbreaking health series, co-author of "The Longevity Code," and has been featured in numerous media outlets and documentaries, including FOX News, MSN, Healthline, Houston Chronicle, and more.
Dr. V and her team specialize in using evidence-based methods to treat the root causes of chronic illnesses and mental health conditions, incorporating a multifaceted approach that addresses unresolved trauma and unprocessed emotions. Her unique approach merges Newtonian and quantum science with a mind-body-spirit integration.
Dr. V is a doctor as well as an entrepreneur.. As so many health practitioners and business owners, she admits she consistently put the business first. She speaks candidly in this episode about her personal experience of running a successful business while ignoring her own health. She shares how her body slowly began to shut down and how she eventually realized that surrendering to take care of her health did not mean failure. And she shares her own realization that as she took more time to play, relax and recover, the business started to do better! Not the other way around.
She explains that stress manifests in our bodies as disease, and that the release of trapped emotions is key to full healing. Dr. V also identifies some common mindset traps that affect our health, such as shame, guilt, fear, and anger, and encourages listeners to ask themselves questions about self-care and prioritization.
Some Q’s she’s posed:
What is stress doing to your body?
Are you hard on yourself?
Are you prioritizing yourself as much as you do others or your biz?
And, since money is my jam – we talk about how money affects health and how few people are willing to invest real dollars into their overall wellness and health span.
Her message is clear: "Pay for your wellness or you will pay for your sickness." Ultimately, Dr. V reminds us to be kind to ourselves and to listen to our bodies, as they will always speak to us.
