What does it take to leave a stable career, build a real estate portfolio, and create a personal brand that generates consistent opportunities?
In this episode of the Builders of Authority Podcast, Adam McChesney sits down with Matt Kresko to discuss his journey from recruiting and talent acquisition to becoming a full-time real estate investor and capital raiser.
Matt shares how he started with house hacking, grew to 25 rental units, managed multiple flips, and navigated seven months without a paycheck after interest rates shifted and a business partnership ended.
In this conversation, Adam and Matt discuss:
• Transitioning from a W2 career into real estate
• Building relationships without immediately pitching
• Using consistent content to generate referrals and partnerships
• Growing a rental portfolio and managing flips
• Creating authentic content from real experiences
• Partnering with contractors to avoid construction bottlenecks
• Matt’s goal of completing more than 100 deals per year

About me:
I’m Adam McChesney: an entrepreneur and marketer who’s spent the last decade building and scaling service-based businesses. I’ve been on both sides of the table: running companies myself and helping other business owners grow through smarter, more disciplined marketing.
I’m the founder of Builders of Authority, where I work with service businesses to improve visibility, strengthen their brand, and build marketing systems that actually perform over time. Everything I share comes from real experience, what I’ve tested, what’s worked, and what hasn’t.
Today, I create content, speak, and have honest conversations about marketing, growth, and leadership, with one goal in mind: helping business owners stop relying on last-minute tactics and start building something sustainable.
Built for the contractors the market keeps overlooking.
