Summary

I welcome Matt Higgins to Passion Struck, who is co-founder and CEO of private investment firm RSE Ventures and an executive fellow at Harvard Business School, where he co-teaches the course Moving Beyond DTC. A guest shark on ABC's Shark Tank seasons 10 and 11, he will soon star in a new spinoff, Business Hunters, also executive produced by Mark Burnett. We explore his new book Burn the Boats: Toss Plan B Overboard and Unleash Your Full Potential. Matt Higgins discusses why learning how to burn the boats unleashes your potential. If you want to achieve significant success, you can't fall back on backup plans. Your potential is limitless if you adopt a solid resolution and the perseverance to overcome roadblocks. This is how our guest today, Matt Higgins, has coached entrepreneurs Gary Vaynerchuk, Bobbi Brown, Julianne Hough, David Chang, and Brian Chesky (co-founder and CEO of Airbnb). Matt's stories are captivating from the beginning of our interview, and his practical strategies and research will significantly enhance how you approach your life and career. You'll feel like you're receiving personal coaching from a Harvard professor who has gone from poverty to incredible success.
