Hi, I’m Matt Lawenda — entrepreneur, investor, and financial educator.

Over the past 15+ years, I’ve scaled my family’s wholesale company into the seven figures, led sales teams, and built automated systems that drove growth and profitability. I’ve also been a licensed Realtor and property investor for over 10 years, successfully managing & owning both long-term rentals and Airbnbs.

Beyond real estate and business, I’m actively investing in stocks, private businesses, and cryptocurrency, giving me a diversified perspective on how money works across different asset classes. This hands-on experience allows me to teach not just theory, but real-world strategies that I apply in my own financial journey every day.

I help high-income earners who feel financially stuck create clarity, direction, and control over their money. My approach is about building a personalized roadmap that combines financial education, accountability, and practical strategies so your money finally works as hard as you do.

I’m not a financial advisor. I’m a financial educator and coach who has lived the ups and downs of wealth-building. When you work with me, you’ll gain more than just knowledge—you’ll gain confidence, a roadmap, and a guide who is actively on the same journey as you.

My Story

I’ll be honest with you—I didn’t always have it figured out.

There was a time when I had over $30,000 in debt and a credit score so bad, I couldn’t even get approved for a secured credit card. I remember feeling embarrassed every time I checked my bank balance. I avoided conversations about money because deep down, I felt like I was failing—even though I was working hard.

I was making money, but I didn’t feel in control of it. And that’s a painful place to be.

At some point, I realized I couldn’t keep living like that. So I started small—budgeting, tracking expenses, paying down debt, and learning how credit really worked. It wasn’t glamorous, and I stumbled plenty along the way, but step by step my credit score improved. I became debt-free. And eventually, I had the confidence to start investing.

Fast forward to today, I’ve helped scale a seven-figure business, built a multi-million-dollar real estate portfolio with rentals and Airbnbs (Photo is me with my 1st Property), and I actively invest in stocks, businesses, and crypto. But more important than the numbers is the transformation—I no longer feel ashamed or “stuck.” I feel confident, in control, and excited about the future.

And now, I help high-income earners who feel exactly like I once did—making good money but still stressed, embarrassed, or overwhelmed. I know what it feels like to carry that secret frustration, and I also know what it feels like to finally break free of it.
