It wasn't always easy (a note from Matt)
From an early age, I knew I wanted to invest in and own great companies. In our home, it was not uncommon to overhear discussions of value investing greats like Warren Buffet, Charlie Munger, and Ben Graham. It probably wasn’t hard for people to predict that I’d find myself after college at an investment bank as a broker and, eventually, a trader.
After climbing the ladder of success and realizing I wanted to chart my own path, I left my high 6-figure job to attend grad school. Soon after I bought my first business. Soon thereafter, we ran it right into the ground and both of my partners filed bankruptcy.
It was this moment in life that taught me most of what I use today to find great businesses. By avoiding mistakes, I’ve dramatically improved my and my clients’ results.
Deal Camp is all about sharing those very real, very painful lessons with you so you can achieve your financial dreams.
