Shayda Frost was producing films in Los Angeles. Her father spent his career as one of the loudest voices in funeral pre-planning - and when he died suddenly at 68, he left no instructions for his own funeral, and no succession plan for the cemeteries he owned. Shayda and her husband Timothy Amoui were given two options: sell, or run it. Every single person told them to sell. Instead they moved back to Atlanta and took over 50 employees, a business that still ran on fax machines and paper sl...
Linda McMahon built WWE from a desk in her basement into a global company, became a self-made billionaire, and is now the 13th U.S. Secretary of Education. She sits down with Matt to talk about the investment that forced her into bankruptcy, why she tells every entrepreneur to stick to what they know, and the moment she realized a manager had hit their ceiling and no amount of coaching would fix it. She also lays out the number that should worry every business owner in America: for every fiv...
Leif Babin spent four years at the Naval Academy chasing one goal — and didn’t get selected for the SEAL program. He calls it the best thing that ever happened to him. In this conversation he walks through being handed 28 people and millions of dollars of equipment at 22 years old with no idea what he was doing, the day in Ramadi that cost him Marc Lee and Ryan Job, and why he was awarded a Silver Star he never wanted and still doesn’t display. He explains why humility is the single most impo...
Shadi Bakour had negative $400 in the bank and 15,000 unsold bottles of water collecting dust in an investor's warehouse. Eleven years later PATHWATER is in every Chanel in the US, in all 50 states, and has kept more than 750 million single-use plastic bottles out of landfills and oceans. In this episode he breaks down the parts most founders never talk about: the year he made zero dollars driving Uber and waiting tables, the morning he and his co-founder mapped every 7-Eleven in Northern Ca...
In December 2008, James D. White took over a public company that had almost no cash left. The previous management team had burned through $100 million, made a string of bad real estate deals, and left the market cap heading one direction. He walked into the Great Recession with a smoothie chain that didn't sell anything hot, in cities where it was winter. He told the board he needed six months to figure it out. Inside 45 days he'd moved on two executives. Inside seven years the market cap wa...
John Paul DeJoria started John Paul Mitchell Systems with $700 while living in his car with his two-year-old son. Thirty-eight years later he sold Patrón to Bacardi in a deal valued at $5.1 billion. He tells Matt what actually happened in between: foster care at nine, on his own at eleven, homeless twice, selling encyclopedias door to door for $150 a week, and the string of jobs he says made the whole thing possible — "I couldn't have started John Paul Mitchell Systems in 1980 with $10 milli...
Steven Galanis had the idea for Cameo at his grandmother's funeral. Four years later the company had gone from roughly $300,000 to $100 million in revenue with no marketing spend, was the fastest-growing consumer marketplace in the world, and hit a $1 billion valuation. Then the vaccines came out, demand dropped 60% almost overnight, and a banker sat him down in Miami with a binder he called "the sea of red." In this conversation he walks through all of it without spin: the launch night wher...
