Description

Who holds the key to your success? And what fuels your drive to do what you do every day?

Matthew Gallagher’s journey from humble beginnings to becoming the founder of the world’s largest watch club is nothing short of inspiring.

Growing up poor, he found creative ways to make money by creating and selling and eventually taught himself how to build websites. Despite facing financial hardships early in life, Matthew refused to let his circumstances define his future. He was determined to build a better life for himself and his family, and he did so by combining his entrepreneurial spirit with his passion for watches.

Watch Gang, a subscription-based service that delivers a variety of watches to its members every month, quickly became a hit and propelled Matthew to become one of the most influential figures in the watch industry.

In this episode, Darius and Matthew talk about some of their personal experiences working at a young age, finding their passion for entrepreneurship, and what it took them to reach success. They also discuss the importance of profitability and delivering quality service, and share some tips on how to start a business.

Topics include:

What inspired Matthew to create and sell things independently

How Matthew got involved in website creation at a young age

What made Matthew quit his job and start doing website building on his own

Transitioning from building websites into the watch club

The story behind the name and creation of Watch Gang
