From Lost at 30 to 1 Million Followers… The Artist Who Refused to Be Average

At 30 years old, Matthew Olivier felt like his life was already over. No purpose. No plan. No belief in himself. Just a future he never chose — working a job that was “already set up,” watching other people live the life he wanted, and secretly believing he was destined for mediocrity. He compared himself to everyone online, daydreamed instead of manifesting, and hid his art because he was terrified of being seen.Then he hit a breaking point.In this raw and emotional conversation, Matt reveals the exact moment he told himself “one more chance — I refuse to die average.” That decision — powered by what he calls “the perfect dose of delusion” — led him from posting in fear, to millions of people watching his artwork, including the viral stretch where his videos hit 1 million, then 7 million views back-to-back.If you’re a creator, entrepreneur, or someone trying to figure their life out — this is your episode. 💯Use code "MBH5" at Mintink for a special discount from the boys:https://www.mintink.ca/?utm_source=moneybuyshappiness&utm_medium=collabCheck out Matti:Matthew: https://www.instagram.com/matthewolivierx/SHOP NEW MBH MERCH:https://mbhtv.com/collections/mbh-merchandiseSUBSCRIBE TO MBH SNAPCHAT: https://www.snapchat.com/@thembhpodcastSUBSCRIBE HERE: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCcQijWgy0S1vyfPm_BhYNPwLISTEN ON:APPLE: https://podcasts.apple.com/ca/podcast/money-buys-happiness/id1513827461SPOTIFY: https://open.spotify.com/show/4DzyFZDvEHVT8ArGusePGs?si=38129137034440ecHOSTS INSTAGRAM:ERNESTO: https://www.instagram.com/Ernestogaita/ANTHONY: https://www.instagram.com/AnthonysorellaPODCAST: https://www.instagram.com/moneybuyshappiness
