WHO AM I:
I’m Matt. I create content about property, finance and investing online. I love teaching people about the things that might seem simple to me, but new to others. I've spent most of my working life in product for banks and fintechs. I also run a small property development company making luxury homes. I enjoy coding on the side.

GET IN TOUCH / BUSINESS:
If you’d like to talk, I’d love to hear from you. DM @mattbrighton_ on Instagram and I'll happily get back to you!

In this video, we explore why over 4 million Americans have quit their job since that pandemic, which economists and the news are dubbing 'The Great Resignation'. With remote working on the rise and a change in employer mindset, I'm not surprised things are changing. Quitting the 9-5 job can be scary! Why are people quitting their corporate jobs?

I'm building a property investment group as well as creating multiple streams of income online as well as working in a job that I love and enjoy, but ultimately, the plan is to grow the businesses in the future to sustain a safer lifestyle that isn't at risk of redundancy or corporate re-structures.
