In this episode we talk about:

  • Growing up Matt was 1 of 3 kids and attended Marcellin College in Melbourne, VIC.

  • Coming from a family of professionals, Matt started his studies in Visual Communication and Design, but felt there was a missing practical element to his future.

  • Realising he wanted to start a carpentry apprenticeship, Matt opened the newspaper and applied for a job.

  • Matt regularly has a three-year plan and strives to always be progressing.

  • Halfway through his Cert 3 apprenticeship Matt also enrolled in a Cert 4 to obtain his Builder’s Licence.

  • Completing his Cert 3 and Cert 4 at the same time, Matt was ready to step out on this own and started ‘Elevate Building Group’.

  • The beginnings of ‘Elevate Building Group’ and the cold call that changed his business literally immediately.

  • Working on Channel 9’s ‘The Block’ and ‘Reno Rumble’.

  • We get an exclusive behind the scenes insight into the show and how it operates.

  • Matt believes in taking every opportunity and subsequently doors will eventually open.

  • The positive and both negative assumptions Matt receives from his time on Television and how he manages the interaction and expectations of the client.

  • The future for Elevate Building Group is focused on progression rather than a final end goal.

  • Scaling the business and Matt’s learnings from this natural step.
