Digital Investor and Educator on Building Online Income for Life on Your Terms

Matt Raad is a 30-year entrepreneur, digital investor, and CEO & Co-Founder of eBusiness Institute, Australia’s leading digital skills training organisation. After starting his career as a zoologist studying kangaroos in the Australian outback, Matt rejected the conventional path and built wealth with his wife Liz by buying, growing, and selling businesses instead of relying on property, a corporate career, or the traditional wealth playbook.
Eighteen years ago, Matt and Liz took that same business-buying approach online and became pioneers in buying, renovating, and selling websites as digital real estate. Today, Matt is one of the leading voices helping millennials, burnt-out professionals, and aspiring entrepreneurs build AI-leveraged digital businesses they own, control, and can one day sell as 6–7 figure assets.
Matt’s message is especially timely for a generation that has been sold a path that no longer works: expensive degrees, insecure careers, unaffordable property, and income that disappears the moment they stop working. Through eBusiness Institute and the Digital Investors Podcast, he teaches people how to earn while they learn, use practical digital and AI skills, create cashflow from home, and build real future security through ownership.
A regular guest on major business and wealth podcasts including Rich Dad Radio, Entrepreneurs on Fire, and RASK, Matt brings a rare mix of contrarian thinking, practical strategy, and lived experience.
For over 27 years,Matt Raadhas been helping people escape the 9-to-5 by turning digital assets into real-world freedom. Alongside his wife Liz, he pioneered the strategy of buying, renovating, and selling websites for cash flow — long before the term "digital real estate" became mainstream.
Starting from scratch, Matt and Liz applied their background in business acquisitions to build a high cash flow portfolio of online businesses. Today, through their nationally recognised eBusiness Institute, they train career professionals, side hustlers, and families how to create time-leveraged income streams online — without needing to be tech experts.
Matt is especially passionate about helping people rethink traditional career paths. Whether speaking to mid-career professionals seeking flexibility or young entrepreneurs hungry for financial independence, he brings a practical, proven approach to creating income that supports your lifestyle—not the other way around.
