10: Ditching Harvard to Build a Company w/ Momentous’ Matt Wan

Matt began thinking about a better supplement brand in high school. Fortunately, his father was both a VC and part owner of the San Francisco 49ers, which gave Matt a unique business POV for a teenager, as well as access to some of the best trainers in the world. Rob invested in the company and helped build an amazing brand, but Matt was wavering on whether to attend Harvard or continue running the company. Matt installed a CEO and went to Cambridge, but two months later found himself back at the helm for good. At 22, he’s still learning as he goes, but having mentors like Rob has helped him continue to push toward success. Learn more about this episode.
