Few personal and professional success stories have caught my attention as powerfully as the story of Matt Higgins and his unique philosophy.

Whether as a Founder, Investor, Educator, or CEO of multi-billion-dollar investment firm R.S.E. Ventures, no matter the role, Matt has always believed in trusting his instincts and never outsourcing his judgment.

In this episode, Matt draws stories from scientific research, business experiences, and  his own rags-to-riches life to show you how to "toss 'plan B' overboard and unleash your full potential!"
