• Matt Picheny, Schools of Public Engagement '04

    What if you could create financial freedom and save the world?

    Pulling back the curtain, Matt Picheny reveals the power of purposeful investing to improve life for yourself, your family, and even the world, one passive investment at a time. His journey from actor to real estate investor shows you how passive income can liberate you from necessity and give you the financial freedom to write your own story.

    Matt takes us along on his winding path to financial freedom, sharing lessons learned (sometimes the hard way) to light the way forward. Building a portfolio alongside his day job, Matt re-scripted typical real estate investing strategy with his value-centric approach, which benefits both residents and investors.

    Offering an optimistic win-win approach and practical advice, Backstage Guide to Real Estate is for busy entrepreneurs, inspired leaders, nomadic visionaries, and innovative thinkers everywhere who want to use the power of their investment dollars to make positive change in the world.
