Are you gambling with your financial future? Are you chasing the next big stock, or are you building a foundation for lasting legacy? On this episode of Exit Strategies Radio Show, host Corwyn J. Melette sits down with a titan in the world of finance who believes in something more powerful than a "get rich quick" scheme: the American Dream.

In Part 1 of this powerful interview, host Corwyn J. Melette sits down with financial expert Mark Matson, CEO of Matson Money and author of the national bestseller, Experiencing the American Dream. Mark shares his personal story of growing up in poverty in West Virginia and reveals the three "lies" that convinced him the investing industry was broken.

This episode will challenge everything you've been taught about wealth. Mark makes a powerful case that money itself can't buy happiness, and that you must find a purpose for your money before you start to invest it.

Part 1 was just the start of the journey. What if your portfolio could reflect your purpose?
