Matt Aitchison
About this episode

In this solo episode of Money Moves, Matty A. reflects on life, business, and investing as we head into Q4. From his personal journey of balancing family, entrepreneurship, and mental health to major market updates—from Fed rate cuts to the rise of gold and crypto—this conversation blends practical wealth-building insights with powerful life lessons.


Matty dives into the implications of the government shutdown on economic data, why the U.S. dollar is showing cracks, and how investors are flocking to safe havens like gold and Bitcoin. He also highlights game-changing developments in tokenization, crypto adoption, and commercial real estate, plus shares an inspiring message on overcoming challenges and rising above negativity.
