The Liquid Lunch Project Inspired Entrepreneurship with Matt Shoup
Picture it: It’s 2005 and you’ve just been laid off from your corporate banking job. You’re recently married, have a brand new car, a mortgage, and are six figures in debt with $100 left in your pocket.
What now?
Today’s guest doesn’t have to picture it - he lived it, and came out the other side with an amazing story to tell. Meet Matt Shoup: Author, keynote speaker, serial entrepreneur, Brazilian Ji Jitsu black belt, and Spanish coffee addict who took that $100 and transformed it into M&E Painting, an award winning business with $30 million in revenue. From there, he grew five more profitable businesses and is now on a mission to inspire entrepreneurs and business owners find the same success through leadership platforms and programs.
This episode is a vulnerable look at his origin story, and a reminder that sometimes the only limits you have are the ones you put on yourself. And for those watching on YouTube, you’ll get to see our bonus guest and newest (and littlest) member of The Liquid Lunch posse as James Rosabianca makes his podcast debut!
