[01:44] – Monique introduces her guest, Matt Young.

[02:48] – Who are you? Where are you from? And what do you do?

• I am a real estate marketing expert.
• I own two different companies.

[04:28] – Do you think your Italian or your Chinese side is coming out more when you’re in the board meeting? 

• It depends on whether I’m running mathematics or having to throw people over the dock more or less. 

[04:52] – Tell me how you got started.

• When I was eight, that transpired into me thinking of different entrepreneurial ways to make money.

[06:13] – When you were eight years old and you found yourself basically homeless,  how was your first reaction at that moment?

• At that moment I was thinking that I could shovel driveways in New York to be able to make my own money.

[12:02] – When you’ve been homeless you were still in school. How did you deal with that situation?

• I think that there was a lot of pride involved.
• I didn’t really share with my teachers or with my friends what my scenario was. 

[16:30] – So what was the turning point for you and wanting something new?

• I would say probably the biggest turning point was when I was 20 years old.

[17:25] – When you had this turning point, what was the big mindset shift for you?

•  I think that the perspective shift was that I have to take accountability for every single thing in my life, whether good or bad.

[19:11] – Who was the biggest influence in your life?

• A lot of my influences come from people that I probably haven’t even met. 

[22:44] – Do you think that’s a learned skill to be resilient?

• I think everybody has that strength and resilience inside of them.
• I think that it’s just called upon at different moments.

[58:55] – What does efficiency mean to you?

• Efficiency means seeing a way of doing things and creating a more streamlined or more automated or more delegated process to be able to accomplish what others are doing but in less time.

[59:36] – Which three things would you do over and over again to get back up to success?

• I would delegate 99% of my business.
• I would network.
• Don’t take advice from anybody who’s not where I want to be.
