    The Three Psychological Triggers of Engagement

    Curiosity: Create content that leaves people wanting more, like using intriguing questions or Netflix-style cliffhangers

    Identity: Help viewers see themselves reflected in your content, making them think "This could be me"

    1. Am I making people curious? 2. Am I making them feel something? 3. Am I making them see themselves in my content?

    Shift from creating generic content to creating a space where people feel understood

    Focus on quality over quantity - it's about better content, not more content

  • Matt Raad has used a very unconventional method to create financial freedom in his lifetime, starting with nothing and building a high cash flow portfolio through buying and selling businesses.


    He and his wife Liz are website investors, which means they use digital assets to generate cash flow and build wealth. They were among the first in the world to realize that they could buy websites, renovate them like real estate, and then sell or keep them for cash flow.


    Matt started out as a zoologist with his wife Liz, buying their first business, expanded into multi-million dollar mergers & acquisitions and then transitioned to investing in online businesses where the cashflow returns were so much better.
    These days they love teaching beginners how to reach 6 & 7 figure website portfolios using a similar strategy to buying & renovating traditional real estate.
