  Crypto Millionaire: The Habits That Built A Kraken Buyout

  Sep 1, 202614 min

  Dylan Loomer's first car was a 1988 Toyota Cressida his parents made him buy off his grandma. He drives a GT3 RS now, and he'll tell you the job that paid for it is one of the loneliest things a person can do. He built a personal brand in crypto, founded a prop trading firm called Breakout, and sold it to Kraken. Matt caught him the week of the Okanagan Dream Rally, days before he met his co-pilot Ryland, a kid who had just beaten Hodgkin's lymphoma. Why he showed up on the start line instead of writing a cheque, and what he'd tell a young person with no plan. Subscribe for new episodes of August After Dark.

  Dan Martell: Give Me 16 Minutes And I'll Change How You Think About Success

  Jul 14, 202617 min

  DREAM RALLY Learn more & get involved: https://www.okanagandreamrally.com/ DAN MARTELL Dan's YouTube: @danmartell Dan's Instagram: @danmartell Dan Martell built and sold three companies, became a multimillionaire before 30 — and then realized he wasn't happy. In this episode of Area 27, we sit down with entrepreneur, investor, author of Buy Back Your Time, and one of the most impactful voices in the business world — Dan Martell — for one of the most honest conversations we've ever had on this show. We're not talking about business tactics or AI hacks today. We're talking about what actually matters. What money will never be able to buy you. And why Dan Martell — a man who has coached thousands of founders and built a $100M+ empire — believes that sitting in a supercar next to a struggling kid is the greatest thing he's ever done. Dan opens up about growing up in a broken environment, the days he didn't feel like he deserved to be alive, and how one caring adult changed the entire trajectory of his life. That experience is exactly why he's been running youth programs for nearly 20 years — and why he's the title sponsor of this year's Dream Rally. Dream Rally is the Okanagan's most powerful charitable event — 250 of the world's most incredible supercars drive with children who need a special day through a full police-escorted route, lined with thousands of fans waving checkered flags. What looks like a car show on the outside is something far deeper. We've had parents tell us this event gave their child — who had attempted suicide multiple times — something to look forward to every two years. Something to live for. Dan gets it. Because he was that kid. ________________________________________________________________________________ TIMESTAMPS 00:00 – Welcome to the Race Track & Introducing Dream Rally 01:26 – What Is the Dream Rally? 02:05 – Why Dan Martell Joined As Title Sponsor 03:28 – A deep-rooted story of a Kid Who Chose To Live 04:44 – What The Kids Experience Beyond Just The Cars 05:32 – "Every Kid Is One Caring Adult Away From A Success Story" 07:36 – What Would A 12-Year-Old Dan Martell Have Felt At Dream Rally? 08:09 – Growing Up Broken: Dan's Darkest Days 09:00 – Selling His Company At 28 & Feeling Completely Empty 10:43 – The Mentor Who Changed Dan's Entire Philosophy 12:31 – "The Ultimate Flex Is Not The Cars" 13:50 – Why Dan Has Run Youth Programs For 20 Years 14:28 – How To Give Back Before You Feel Ready 15:01 – "Start With Your World Before You Try To Change The World" 15:45 – Why Time & Presence Matter More Than Money 16:05 – See You On The Start Line

  How to Survive A Marriage in 2026 (conversation with my wife)

  Jul 7, 20261h 3m

  What does it actually take to build a life with someone? Not the Instagram version. The real one, with near-death accidents, broken bones, a brain bleed, fertility struggles, and the kind of storms that either break a couple apart or make them unbreakable. In this episode, Matthew sits down with his wife Adria for one of the most honest conversations we've put on record. They go back to the beginning: six years of friendship before anything romantic, the moment everything shifted at the Dream Rally, and what it actually felt like to choose each other. Then they get into the hard stuff. Ryder's snowboard accident, which left him with a broken neck, bruised organs, and a lost kidney, and the moment Adria stood at the bottom of the ski hill wondering if her son was still alive. Months later, within the same year, Adria's own near-fatal horse accident: 14 crushed bones, a brain bleed, a punctured lung, and being dragged through the forest. Matthew flying through a lightning storm in a helicopter to reach her. The long road back, and the small wins that rebuilt her, from passing her real estate exam when everyone said she'd fail, to the day she swam across the lake and sold her first home. Through all of it, they talk about what they learned about love, vulnerability, community, and what it really means to choose the right person to walk through life with. This one will stay with you. ______________________________________________________________________ TIMESTAMPS 0:00 – The accidents that tested everything 3:19 – The Dream Rally that changed how she saw him 8:56 – The test begins: Ryder's snowboard accident 11:05 – "Is he dead?" — the moment at the ski hill 18:58 – Adria's horse accident: 14 crushed bones and a brain bleed 20:40 – Flying through a lightning storm to reach her 31:40 – Passing the exam everyone said she'd fail 35:12 – One day: the swim and her first home sale 44:57 – Full circle: 23 weeks pregnant 59:00 – What it all comes down to: Community 1:00:53 – The most important decision I ever made
