My special guest is Matt Shoup
Matt Shoup is a name that resonates with tenacity and determinism. Having had a humble beginning as a young boy in New Jersey who experienced bullying and fear, Matt channeled his entrepreneurial spirit to create his own small business by the age of ten. No stranger to adversity, Matt's path led him through a maze of challenges and experiences, which included a brief stint as a loan officer and subsequent abrupt termination, igniting his journey into starting his own painting business. Capitalizing on his strength in sales and marketing, and using adversity as his fuel, Matt turned a disappointing career setback into a thriving seven-figure enterprise, proving that resilience and drive can indeed turn tables.
