From Money Demons to Spiritual Awakening...

"Are you ready to admit there's a God and it's not you?" - Mark Matson

In a raw and powerful conversation, financial expert Mark Matson opens up about his transformative journey through personal and professional crisis. After facing a devastating divorce that threatened to strip away half his assets, including his company, Matson found himself at a crossroads. As a lifelong atheist who had intellectually rejected faith, he was forced to confront his deepest beliefs when everything he had built seemed to be crumbling. It was in this dark moment, alone in a hotel room, that a friend's simple question shattered his worldview and led to a profound spiritual awakening.

Growing up witnessing his father's courageous stand against generational poverty mindsets, particularly during a confrontational visit from his grandfather, shaped Matson's early understanding of money and success. While this inspired his drive to achieve, it also fueled a perfectionist strategy of "winning at all costs" to prove his worth. Through his journey, Matson discovered that money isn't just about finances - it's intertwined with relationships, identity, and spiritual beliefs. His story reveals how facing our "money demons" often leads to confronting deeper truths about ourselves and our relationships with success, worth, and meaning.
