I was excited to get Matt on as he's successfully done the one thing that I always talk about: creating a name for himself whilst working for another company
Matt worked for a mortgage brokerage and after he was made redundant in 2020 he set up his own company: Poole Family Financial. When calling up his past clients to tell them that the company he used to work for had gone under the majority thought it was his company anyway! The reason they thought this is because he was the face of someone else's business - which he did on social media.
Now with his own business he uses social media to create a local following by promoting local companies and is always on LinkedIn sharing his personal stories which gain some exciting traction.
An interesting part of the podcast is to hear how Matt tried being a mortgage broker at the start of his working career, but it didn't fit at the time, so he went into banking. A few years later he became an extremely successful mortgage broker: so remember it doesn't always work first time!
This is a class episode with a down to earth family man who's company slogan is "Let our family look after yours"
