## Resource

Today I'm talking to Matt King, CEO of GoBundance, host of The Matt King Show, and Chief of Staff for a family office managing high-level investments and operators. Matt is about to ride a bike 2,000 miles from Mexico to Canada while giving away $1 million to people in overlooked communities across America. We get into how he thinks about balance, why he believes entrepreneurs should stop chasing net worth and focus more on cash flow, and what he's learned reviewing financial statements from ultra-high-net-worth investors. We also talk about how GoBundance scaled from a small mastermind into a 900-member community without destroying the culture, the investing mistakes he sees over and over again, and why the best operators are usually the people willing to admit they don't have all the answers.
