Love gang, welcome to the greatness machine.

I'm your host Darius from Shazda.

I'm so pumped to have you here with me.

And listen, the greatness machine were about two things.

Number one, people were living their passions.

And number two, those who are creating greatness in the world and doing both of these things despite the odds against them.

Each episode, we're going to feature interviews with game changers, business leaders, telling us their origin stories, what made them tick, what got them to where they are now.

Why?

So it can help you step into your greatness within your life, your business, and your career. Occasionally, you might hear a few solo episodes for myself, more as I say, as I leverage my 20 years of entrepreneurship as a CEO and founder to help you grow and level up in your journey to scale your life and your business. So come be a fly on the wall, enjoy the conversation, and I'm stoked to have you hear with me. Guys, welcome to this episode of The Greatness for Shamios Darius Moshazzay and boy, do we have special. Matt Flicing is in the house. What's up, Matt? Hey, what's happening? Oh, man, I always tell people, don't play me at more than one time speed for the intro or else you're not going to be able to understand a word I'm saying.

So, no much, man. How are you doing? Awesome, awesome. Thank you for having me. I'm lucky enough to be in New York City tonight as we're doing this. So I'm pumped to be on the show. And thanks again for having us. Yeah, I'm really, really pumped to have you. I saw in the background, I'm like, I'm like, that looks like NYC.

So cool, man.

Are you in Northern Jersey?

Are you in New York City most of the time? I live in Northern Jersey and then we have an office in Englewood, New Jersey and in, you know, Manhattan proper New York City. Awesome, man. So the audience is like, all right, Darius has another wealth guy on the show. And you guys know, like, the audience says, I'm like the most selfish person when it comes the show. And so when I started the podcast, I was like, hey, I want to meet cool people. And then when we started doing rise, I was like, I was like, you know, I'm in wealth now. I should go, like, talk to all the big badasses in wealth.

And, like, you know, your firm, I had heard a lot of people talk about Pastone.

He came up on the radar a lot. And I was like, well, look, let's, let's see if Matt wants to be on the show, man. So I'm so grateful to have you here. You've done amazing work with your firm. But man, it's really excited to talk to you about, you know, your journey from an entrepreneurial standpoint, as well as really a lot of the lessons you learned along the way.

But before we go there, would you mind if I gave a little bit of your formal bio for audience members that maybe don't know no much value? Cool. So you guys, Matt is the co-founder and CEO of Pathstone. They're the number nine in Barron's top 100 RIAs, which as you you all know, is wealth management firms, independent wealth management firms, with over 112 billion in assets under management, soon to be over 160 billion.

They have a large acquisition in the works.
