Matthew Lesko—you might remember him from his question mark suits and energetic infomercials—has transformed from a $20,000-per-client business consultant to a passionate advocate helping everyday Americans access billions in free government resources. His mission now? Building a community where people help each other navigate the complex world of grants, subsidies, and assistance programs.
The economic reality driving his work is stark. America has both more millionaires than any other developed nation and the highest poverty rate (17.2%) among wealthy countries. Over the past 50 years, wages for the bottom 90% of Americans have grown just 30% while inflation has soared 350%—a crushing disparity explaining why half of Americans can't handle a surprise $500 expense.
What makes this conversation genuinely eye-opening is the sheer range of available resources most people never discover. Did you know there are 51 healthcare programs that will pay you to train for high-demand jobs, cover your transportation and childcare costs, and even pay for your certification exams? Or that Habitat for Humanity offers homes at half price with zero-percent interest mortgages? From $100,000 grants for making and selling ice cream to programs offering free laptop computers, these opportunities exist in every community—if you know where to look.
Lesko's practical advice centers on two powerful strategies: find programs to help pay for expenses you already have, and discover legitimate opportunities to increase your income. His community at LetsGoHelp.com not only shares information but distributes approximately $50,000-$70,000 monthly in direct grants to members, including free laptops and emergency assistance for car repairs or housing.
The most valuable takeaway might be Lesko's approach to life itself: follow your passion, maintain your sense of humor, and remember that for every problem you face, there's likely free help available from people who've solved it before. Visit FindHelp.org or your local library to discover resources in your area, and remember—the government distributes nearly $19,000 in grant money per adult annually. Isn't it time you claimed your share?
