How I Rebuilt My Million-Dollar Empire After Bankruptcy: Matt Theriault with Harry Sardinas

Matt Theriault , founder of Epic Real Estate, made his millions before turning 30 through the music industry but lost it quickly, leading him to real estate where he rebuilt his wealth using seller financing despite having filed for bankruptcy in 2001. He emphasizes five steps to make your first million: focus on your target market, define your product or service, pick one lead source, establish a consistent conversion method, and commit fully for at least a year. Matt Theriault explains that real estate is not necessarily easy but is one of the most certain wealth-building vehicles due to leverage and system alignment, unlike riskier ventures like crypto. He warns that the biggest risks in real estate often come from people—such as contractors, property managers, or business partners—rather than the properties themselves. Through proper education, due diligence, and learning from mistakes, Matt believes anyone can succeed and scale effectively in real estate.About The Guest
