Matt was a recurring guest on the Emmy award-winning TV show Shark Tank during seasons 10 and 11 and he will soon star in a new spinoff also executive produced by Mark Burnett. Kristel and Matt discuss navigating limiting beliefs, how to boost confidence, the keys to being successful in business as well as a look into Matt's new book, 'Burn the Boats. Toss Plan B Overboard and Unleash Your Full Potential'. Tune in now! Key Takeaways from This Episode: Why Matt wrote the book Burn the Books What is the main thing that holds people back from going after their dreams/goals Qualities Matt has seen in successful people How to navigate limiting beliefs Keys to be successful in business A look into Matt's journey and how he has navigated obstacles in his path About Matt Higgins: Founder. Operator. Investor. Educator. No matter the role, Matt Higgins has always believed in trusting his instincts and never outsourcing his judgment. Higgins grew up in Queens, New York hawking flowers on street corners and scraping gum under tables at McDonald’s to help feed his family. On a mission to escape poverty as fast as possible and provide for his home-bound mother, he dropped out of high school, took his GED and enrolled in college at 16 – eventually earning his juris doctorate from Fordham Law at night while working full-time. A decade after dropping out of high school, Higgins was appointed the youngest Mayor’s press secretary in NYC history at 26, managing the global media response during the September 11, 2001 terrorist attacks under Rudy Guiliani. He then became one of the first employees – and ultimately Chief Operating Officer – of the Lower Manhattan Development Corporation, created to rebuild the World Trade Center site. Higgins helped organize the largest international design competition in history culminating in Reflecting Absence, the September 11th National Memorial, and the development of the 1,776-feet-tall One World Trade Center, the tallest building in the northern hemisphere. Higgins has deep experience in sports, having spent 15 years in senior leadership positions with National Football League teams. He made his mark with two NFL franchises, overseeing the revenue functions of the New York Jets as Executive Vice President of Business Operations, and after leaving the Jets, serving as Vice Chairman of the Miami Dolphins from 2012 - 2021. Higgins cofounded New York City-based RSE Ventures in 2012 alongside developer Stephen M. Ross, amassing a multi-billion-dollar investment portfolio of leading brands across sports and entertainment, media and marketing, food and lifestyle, and technology industries. NYC’s Magnolia Bakery is one of the latest additions to a portfolio that includes David Chang’s renowned culinary brand, Momofuku, and Australian-inspired hospitality/lifestyle brand, Bluestone Lane. RSE has successfully backed many challenger brands from inception, including RESY, an Open Table competitor that American Express acquired in 2019; the Drone Racing League, which was named among Fast Company’s 10 Most Innovative Sports Companies; and Relevent Sports, the leading international soccer agency in the US. Higgins was the first client and ultimately only partner in VaynerMedia, the largest socialmedia first agency in the world founded by Gary Vaynerchuk. Higgins is a prolific investor in the direct-to-consumer space, having invested in over 100 DTC brands throughout his career. He is a lecturer and Executive Fellow at Harvard Business School, where he teaches the popular course Moving Beyond DTC alongside HBS Professor Len Schlesinger. Each year, the course features real-world case studies on some of the top consumer brands in the US. Higgins’ reputation as a self-made serial entrepreneur earned him a spot as a recurring guest Shark on the Emmy award-winning TV show Shark Tank during seasons 10 and 11. He will soon star in a new spinoff also executive produced by Mark Burnett. In 2019, he received the Ellis Island Medal of Honor, joining the ranks of seven former US presidents, Nobel Prize winners and other leaders for work to improve society. He is also a longstanding board member of Autism Speaks, advocating for scientific research and greater acceptance of neurodiversity. In 2021, Higgins had a private audience with Pope Francis at the Vatican to discuss human rights and solidarity with the world’s poor. During the Global Citizen Live festival before an audience of 60,000 people on the Great Lawn of Central Park, Higgins kicked off the Global Solidarity Fund’s initiative to raise $100 million for migrants and refugees in crisis. In honor of his late mother, Linda Higgins, Matt funds scholarships for single mothers through the Linda Higgins Empowerment Scholarship at Queens College. Matt is the author of 'Burn the Boats.

He found a way out, graduated from Hofstra University then Georgetown Law School, and cut his teeth working in entertainment law.
