Are you on track with your finances? Our guest, Matt Manero, has the formula to see if you are and he is going to share it with us!

But first, a little about Matt’s background.

Matt launched his first company, Commercial Fleet Financing, Inc. (CFF), in 1995 with a phone, a folding table and the unyielding confidence of a single client, a trucker. Fast forward 23 years and CFF, has funded over $1 billion in transportation equipment with annual business of $150,000,000+. CFF has served more than 10,000 clients and has become one of the largest independently owned transportation equipment finance companies in America.

Matt has also written two books and today we’re going to talk about his latest, You Need More Money: Wake Up and Solve Your Financial Problems Once And For All.

The genesis behind the book was a family tragedy which prompted Matt to begin looking a little deeper into finances and what he discovered was an American epidemic right in front of him all along, one that didn’t resonate until he experienced the affliction first-hand.

That is where his purpose began...

Matt also talks about the dangers of false positives and how your sense of well-being may be misleading… whether it’s with health and diet or finance, false positives can be detrimental to your life.
