In this episode, we sit down with Matt Wright, a nine-figure entrepreneur who scaled his online car-buying company in Australia to nearly $500 million in annual revenue and exited to Toyota for $120 million at just 33 years old.

Matt gets brutally honest about dropping out at 15, moving to Australia broke at 20, turning $40K in crypto into $3–4 million, and why receiving $120 million felt completely empty.

He also opens up about the chronic depression that followed, not seeing his daughter for three and a half years due to COVID, and his new founder fund backing three founders worldwide with $1M each.
