About this listen

Matt sold his first company at 19 and made $100K. He sold his second at 21 and made $800K. A couple years later, he launched Clover and grew it to $8M ARR in 6 months.

His secret? Insane distribution. His formula is to ignore quality—and engineer quantity instead. While everyone obsesses over viral content, Matt posts 1,000 videos across 333 accounts daily, guaranteeing a million views through pure math. No luck required.

He applies the same "volume negates luck" philosophy to everything: 15,000 cold emails daily, thousands of Reddit posts to dominate SEO rankings.

Matt reveals the exact Reddit hack to guarantee #1 Google rankings, how AI agents automate everything from account creation to content generation, and why he purposely changes video metadata to trick algorithms at scale. At 23, he's cracked distribution so thoroughly that he can now incubate any business and guarantee its growth.

  • How posting 1,000 videos daily GUARANTEES 1M views
  • The Reddit hack that guarantees #1 Google rankings in 7 days
  • Why referral revenue is the only true sign of product-market fit
  • The "volume negates luck" framework that beats any growth strategy
