Matthew Ory embodies everything this podcast is about. His first appearance on the podcast is still elevating new listeners almost a year later. When Pain Becomes Power was raw & inspirational, even emotional at times—round two is even better.

Matt is a real estate investor, criminal defense attorney & my lifelong friend. In this episode, he brings mental toughness & optimism to an uncertain time.

He says that he's "quarantined" his thoughts about COVID-19's impact on South Louisiana. But not anymore. He says the high infection rate where he lives was inevitable due to the unhealthy lifestyle of most Louisianians. (According to a New York Times article updated daily, there are 255 cases of COVID-19 in New Orleans per capita, making it among the highest infection rates in the US.)

Matt's also passionate about the media's mishandling of the pandemic—he believes we're not getting the whole story.

We also share feedback we've received from his first appearance, answer questions from listeners & give tips for how to position yourself for a better future by exploring different investment vehicles.
