Summary
Matt Vincent is a traveling strength athlete, two-time Highland Games World Champion, and founder of HVIII Brand Goods. Through his travels, Matt was lucky enough to spend time with exceptional people who were chasing strength, fulfillment, and personal growth in every imaginable way. In Matt's first book, Training Lab, he spelled out the philosophy of “The HVIII,” and tried to capture the spirit of self-improvement through self-loathing. This idea would serve as the spark that led to HVIII Brand Goods and a ton of adventures afterwards. Matt chronicles his travels and conversations with people in the strength game and beyond on his podcast UMSO.
We talk to Matt about his evolution from World Champion Athlete to founding a highly successful company by way of a number of other ventures and a total knee replacement.

Guess what's funny about scurvy? Nothing's funny about scurvy. Yeah, you've got to have the C. Did you also know that humans are the only mammals that don't make their own vitamin C? Did you know that? You know, everyone comes to vitamin C, and they're like, vitamin C for immune system, right? |
| 0:40.4 | Okay. Humans are the only mammals that don't make their own vitamin C. Did you know that? You know, everyone comes to vitamin C and they're like, vitamin C for immune system, right? |

| 1:29.6 | yes, I can eat all of these superfoods myself because it's great to have all these superfoods |
