Episode description

Matt Daigle is the founder of Rise, an online authority in sustainable home improvement. It all started when Matt and his wife decided to renovate their home. After spending six figures remodeling the property, he had failed to lower the property's utility bills. That's when he set his sights on learning what it really takes to build with sustainability in mind.

Along the way Matt saw the need to demystify this information and help other homeowners make better decisions. With his background in tech, he founded the Rise,  which provides homeowners and industry professionals with know-how and connections to build durable, resilient, long-lasting, healthy, and energy-efficient homes.

Through their work at Rise, Matt and his team are finding that the more we invest in a healthy, efficient, and durable homes, the more benefits we get out of it—from a financial perspective (lower operating costs, higher resale value) as well as a from a comfort and health perspective. For him, it comes down to health, wealth, and helping the planet.
