Summary

Matt Higgins is a titan in the world of entrepreneurship, a Guest Shark on Shark Tank, and an Executive Fellow at Harvard Business School. Matt's new book, "Burn the Boats," is a compelling narrative that uncovers the unconventional formula for lifelong success used by influential leaders throughout history. Matt's approach of "burning the boats" or eliminating retreat options to pave the way for unyielding commitment and success is a timeless strategy, adopted by figures ranging from Sun Tzu to Julius Caesar, and has not only been instrumental in wars but also served as a powerful tool in the entrepreneurial world.

Higgins was the vice chairman of the Miami Dolphins from 2012-2021, serving as an advisor to owner Stephen M. Ross. Prior to the Dolphins, Higgins worked for the New York Jets from 2004 to 2012, serving as the executive vice president of business operations and close advisor to Jets owner Woody Johnson. Before his career with the Jets, Higgins was COO of the Lower Manhattan Development Corporation, the firm tasked with rebuilding the site of the World Trade Center. He also served as press secretary under Mayor Rudolph W. Giuliani, managing the global media response to the September 11 attacks in 2001 for New York City.
