About this episode

EPISODE SUMMARY

Join scientist and mindset & high-performance coach Claudia Garbutt and website investor & financial freedom expert Matt Raad as they discuss the potential of building a website portfolio.

In this episode, we talk about:

- How to turn simple websites into serious monthly cash flow (even if you're not a techie)

- Behind the scenes of building a multi-million-dollar portfolio—what worked, what didn’t, and what made all the difference

- The most unexpectedly lucrative website niches right now

EPISODE NOTES

Matt Raad has spent the past 27 years challenging traditional career paths and creating financial independence through digital investments. He and his wife, Liz, are website investors—they were one of the first to pioneer the strategy of buying, building, and selling websites as cash-flow assets.

Starting with nothing, Matt and Liz built a multi-million-dollar portfolio by applying their expertise in business acquisitions to the digital world. Today, through their eBusiness Institute, they train everyday people—including corporate professionals, solopreneurs, and side hustlers—how to generate income online and reclaim their time.

Beyond digital investments, Matt is passionate about alternative career paths and lifestyle-driven business models. Whether speaking to high achievers ready for a career shift or young entrepreneurs looking to skip the 9-to-5, he offers practical strategies for financial freedom.

As an experienced speaker and advisor, Matt is frequently featured on top-ranking podcasts, including Rich Dad, John Lee Dumas’ Entrepreneurs on Fire, and The RASK Australia Podcast.

Digital real estate is the asset class priced out millennials can still enter

Real estate has become the wealth-building default, but for younger investors the numbers often do not stack up without huge debt and years of pressure. Matt introduces a different asset lens: websites and online businesses can be bought, improved, monetised, and sold without needing a million-dollar mortgage. Because he and Liz have spent 18 years applying business renovation principles to websites, he can explain the mechanics in plain language rather than hype. This gives investing and FIRE audiences a fresh conversation about ownership when property feels increasingly out of reach.

The fixer upper website may be the modern version of the first investment property

Many investors understand the idea of buying an underperforming property, renovating it, improving the yield, and selling or holding it. Matt uses that familiar mental model to explain how the same approach can work online with content sites, digital businesses, local lead-generation assets, and website portfolios. The difference is that digital assets can often be improved through skills, systems, AI, and commercial judgment rather than large deposits and bank approvals. For property and investing podcasts, this is a clean contrarian angle that still feels grounded in asset-building logic.

The anti property wealth conversation millennials are ready to hear

For decades, property was treated as the grown-up route to wealth, especially in Australia, the UK, and the US. Matt can argue that taking on massive debt for a low-yield asset is not the only sensible choice anymore, especially for millennials priced out of the market. His alternative is not speculation but skill-based ownership: build or buy digital assets that produce cashflow and can later be sold. This is likely to land strongly with investor and entrepreneur audiences who are already frustrated by the property ladder.
