Repurposed from a podcast Matt recorded in Bali, where apparently a gym session is two and a half hours of talking and thirty minutes of lifting. His take: raising capital is just high-ticket sales in a different suit. The richest buyers will ghost you for two years, then ask for the contract. And a dinner on a boat every Thursday paid for itself several times over. Course sellers trying their luck in B2B might want to look away.
Then it turns to AI, which Matt is, in his own words, ramming down everybody's throat. His team got one week to come back with something. His monthly bill does the work of $70,000 of staff. And he's got no sympathy for anyone still waiting to see how it plays out. Stick around to the end for the one money habit he'd undo if he got his time again.
