Ladies and gentlemen, welcome to the Monday Mondays podcast where we cover three core topics. How to make money, how to invest money, how to give it away to charity. These podcast episodes are always under 40 minutes for your listening pleasure. Because the average workout is 45 minutes, the average commute to work is 45 minutes. This episode will be between 33 and 37 minutes for you guys. Now, it's really rare that I bring guests back onto these episodes. I've only been doing this podcast for two and a half years. Today we are ranked number 25 in the world out of 5.4 million.

Crushing, crushing.

So this gentleman, he happens to be here in Las Vegas and I'm out here for some meetings. And so bada bing, bada boom, we have none other than Matthew Morgan. If you can dive in, give us the quick 2 minute bio so we get straight to the money.

Awesome. Well, thanks for having me, Dan. Appreciate you as always. I'm happy to, you know, jump in on the money Mondays when I can. My name is Matt Morgan, born and raised in a farm in Montana. Left in 2010 for greener pastures, if you will. I've lived in many major cities. Arizona, Las Vegas, Louisiana, San Diego, Orange County, Miami, any warm city basically in the country. I've lived in, built some large companies. My claim to fame was really into cannabis. During the epicenter, the boom of that from 2010 to 2020 built over a billion dollars worth of cannabis companies. We exited. I got a small piece of all that. And so since about 2020, I've been, I guess you could say semi retired or not an operator more as a passive investor helping coach operators, capitalize them strategy and kind of just been working from home for the last five years and flying around to meetings here and there. But it's been good, man.

You are an optionally busy retired guy. The way I look at it, if.
A (1:55)
I was fully retired, I'd probably go in mentally insane. So you'd have to go to like the mental and say in a silo, find me.
B (2:02)
All right, pop quiz. Someone walks in the door and says, Matt Morgan, here's $2.8 billion. You can never work on anything again for the rest of your life.
A (2:12)
Wow, man. Like it? Business is like a game. It's like the ultimate game, right? So like you have to stop playing the game. But could I put the 2.8 billion.
