Hello everyone and welcome to this somewhat experimental episode of Deep Dive. I'm joined by Patrick and Matt, and I'll get you guys to introduce yourselves in just a sec. I thought it would be fun to do a bit of a deep dive into the psychological and emotional aspects of money, because money is such an important part of all of our lives, whether we like it or not, it's so deeply intertwined in literally everything that we do. And yet still, talking about money is kind of weird. Now, over the last few years, I've been making videos on my YouTube channel ever every year where I kind of break down how much money the channel and the business has made.
Say, and I've been doing this since like 2019, where I was making like 100K and then it was like a million and then it was like three and then it was four. And so I'm fairly transparent with my audience that my business is doing like single-digit millions in profit. But Matt, you've sold a company for tens of millions and Patrick, you've sold a company for hundreds of millions. And I thought that's like a cool place to be where like you guys are at least 10 to 100 times wealthier than I am.
And it's just that's kind of cool because A, I don't meet people like that very often, and B, don't get a chance to sit down in front of cameras to ask them about that whole experience. So I wonder if you guys can introduce yourselves and be like, so Matt, who are you? What's your background and how did we end up here together? Yeah, so Matt Chinook, I uh am actually, I I grew up in a family uh in St. Louis, Missouri on the topic of money that is now an 80-year-old family business.
