Listen Later

Starting any business often begins with trial by fire. Establishing a core set of values is an essential element to that business plan that is overlooked far too often. 

 

Matty Kondrup, better known as Matty K, is a husband, father of three, and the President and CEO of The Matty K Travel Group which employs over 40 agents nationwide and specializes in travel ranging from family getaways to destination weddings. Matty is fairly new to the travel agent world but has successfully launched and grown his business despite the COVID-19 pandemic grounding flights.  

 

On this episode of Addicted to Winning, Matty and Jeff discuss how establishing your business’s values is as essential as any business plan, financing, etc. They also discuss how embracing their entrepreneurial spirit allowed them both to follow their passions and build successful businesses. Listen in for an episode that will get you thinking about the next big thing.

  • What he learned early on in his experience as a travel agent

How to Get Involved:

 

Addicted to Winning connects listeners through stories that prove why mindset matters. Jeff Brekken was working a 60-hour week on his family’s farm by the time he was 10. When he wasn’t helping with the harvest, he was at the hockey rink. Jeff’s early life experiences taught him he needs to be either all-in or all-out. 

 

In 2000 he started a single-family home construction business and by 2008 he was looking for his next big thing. Jeff founded the Blue Sky Benefit Solutions insurance agency on top of a lifelong passion for helping people. Through this show, Jeff will take that passion one step further.
