Description
How far would you go to achieve your dreams? Are you willing to burn the boats and give it your all to get to where you want to be?
Matt Higgins, an American entrepreneur, author, and Co-Founder and CEO of RSE Ventures, joins us on The Greatness Machine to talk about how he went from scraping gum off the chairs in a New York City McDonald's to becoming a successful entrepreneur, investor, and media executive.
Despite starting from humble beginnings, his hard work and determination led him to executive positions at major sports organizations, including the New York Jets and the NHL. In fact, Matt drew inspiration from his tough childhood in writing “Burn the Boats: Toss Plan B Overboard and Unleash Your Full Potential.”

It provides valuable insights and strategies for overcoming fear and uncertainty and taking bold action toward achieving one's goals.
