CTW 047: Matt Theriault - Achieving Financial Independence Through Real Estate

Aug 6, 2018

Matt Theriault is an entrepreneur, author, success coach, and host of Your Do Over, a weekly podcast inspiring “comeback” stories that teach people how to start over with ease, speed, and lasting success.

Also the creator of the Epic Real Estate Investing podcast, Matt focuses on financial education, the importance of multiple streams of income, and teaching people how to create wealth through conventional and creative real estate investing.

Having spent 15 years developing a successful career in the music industry, Matt lost it all when digital downloads killed the CD distributor. At the age of 34, he found himself flat-broke and bagging groceries. Without a “plan B,” he was forced to learn something new.

Through consistent action and self-education, he’s been able to rise again using real estate as his reinvention vehicle. Matt is best known for his seamless blending of personal development and actionable steps to achieving financial independence through real estate.
