Matters.com

(Formerly Solvecast) A collection of podcasts, stories, and experiments from Matters.com — where we explore what matters, one series at a time. This feed is home to interviews, limited series, and audio projects that reflect the wide range of what people care about today — from personal turning points to global conversations, from entertainment to big ideas. Some shows are polished, some are in progress, and some are just us trying things out. They won’t all matter to everyone. That’s the point. It’s all part of the Matters.com platform — a new way to focus, connect, and collaborate around what truly matters.

    Why Trust and Resilience Matter to Marco Barnes Jr, Real Estate Investor

    Olivia interviews real estate investor and resilience advocate Marco Barnes Jr., who shares how losing everything in the 2008 crash led to homelessness and forced him to rebuild by taking a grueling summer job on an Alaska fishing boat to earn $20,000.

Marco talks about what matters to him now—trust, self-understanding, resiliency, and surrounding yourself with the right community and mentors—and encourages people to believe in themselves and keep pursuing their passion.
