In this episode of the Build it to Billions podcast, Brett Swarts sits down with Matt Paulson, a serial entrepreneur, author, and investor from South Dakota, who has built multiple thriving businesses, including MarketBeat—an email marketing powerhouse generating $40 million annually. Matt dives into his journey from running gaming websites as a kid to creating a leading stock market information platform. He shares insights on real estate investing, private equity, and scaling businesses using data-driven strategies.

Matt emphasizes the importance of building businesses on solid foundations (like email lists) rather than relying on changing social platforms. He also discusses managing passive losses, reducing tax burdens with real estate investments, and navigating the complexities of estate planning before the upcoming 2026 tax exemption changes. Tune in to learn how Matt blends curiosity, disciplined research, and family-centered values to build sustainable wealth.
