Description

Matt Vogrich joins the show to share his story. Once known as the "Mop-Topped Assassin", Matt enjoyed an illustrious basketball career, being recognized as the Gatorade Player of the Year in Illinois his senior year of high school before joining John Beilein and the Michigan Wolverines for college. From there, he helped his team over a four-year stretch go from a losing record to playing in the national championship his senior year. He shares his stories and lessons learned from playing for one of the best coaches in the country. We then jump into the MoLo story. With zero experience in freight, Matt founded MoLo Solutions and led it from 0 to $600 million in annual revenue in just four years, while the company also received accolades every year for being the top brokerage workplace in Chicago. We swap stories dating back to the initial planning days before moving our first load, to the challenges of leading through Covid, to eventually selling the company.
