In this episode, the tables are turned and Lydia Lee of “Screw the Cubicle” interviews Matt Bowles. Matt talks about how his Irish-American cultural background and his time living in Ireland impacted his politics, identity and world view. He then shares the behind the scenes story of how he co-founded Maverick Investor Group to help people buy cash-flowing rental properties in the best U.S. real estate markets from anywhere in the world. Matt explains how he and his business partners built the company as a fully-remote real estate brokerage from day 1, and how Maverick’s location-independent infrastructure provides unique benefits to their clients. He then explains how Maverick empowers all their clients to conduct independent due diligence on their rental properties before buying them, without actually having to see the properties in person. Matt then shares how Maverick was intentionally built on “4 Pillars of Purpose” and how that provides multiple layers of motivation for the company to succeed. And, finally, Matt reflects on his 8 years of full-time world travel with no base, and shares his thoughts on some of the key sustainability pillars for a healthy life of long-term world travel.
