Mark Matson joins Dropping Bombs to ask a hard question: are you investing—or gambling with your future? Founder/CEO of $12B Matson Money and author of Experiencing the American Dream, Mark tears down the myths of stock-picking, timing, and guru worship. He shows how evidence-based, rules-driven portfolios align money to purpose so you can build wealth without guessing.
Mark drops practical insights on reframing money relationships through his "Matson Method"—a powerful, purpose-driven approach to investing. He shares why "hard work alone" isn't enough, the dangers of emotional investing, and how to protect principal in volatile markets. For anyone skeptical of financial "experts," this is your guide to real preservation and growth—no hype, just proven steps from a 6x national bestseller.
