Matt Kelly is a serial eCommerce entrepreneur. At 24 he built and scaled two brands to £10M in annual revenue and was living his best life. Until everything crashed as a result of too fast scaling and a number of unfortunate events. He had to sell his Ferrari, and move out of his penthouse apartment in central London and he was struggling with his mental well-being.
