The Perks of Having An Entrepreneurial Spirit with Matthew Quigley
Hearing yes from someone accepting to invest in our company is a great moment; still, we need to be mindful about who we are taking on board with us. We need to evaluate what they can bring to the table. Would they leverage our company's success or encumber it? The same rule applies when selecting a business partner; these are decisions we need to take time to make.
Joining me today is Matthew Quigley, founder and CEO at Stateside Urbancraft Vodka. He is a serial entrepreneur experienced in product development and a specialist in business launch and fundraising. Matthew has a BS in Economics from Penn State University, and he has vast experience in the entrepreneurial world. Before starting his own vodka company with his brother Brian, Matthew played in the food industry quite successfully.
We chat about Matthew's impressive entrepreneurial journey. We travel from his first enterprise offering car wash service in college to founding and leading his own vodka company. We also talk about his passage in the food industry, the lessons he got from it, and how that experience helped him reach his goals. Matthew shared details about his company's future, how the pandemic affected his business and what they did to solve it as well as thoughts on the role of investors and the criteria to observe when picking one.
Some Questions I Ask:
- When did you know you were an entrepreneur? (2:25)
- You were the founder of Smart Store LLC in 2008. Can you tell us a little bit about that? (8:14)
- What was your experience as GM for Blue Bell Inn? (15:49)
- You were involved in the production of gin, bourbon, and whiskey. When is that coming to Stateside? (20:15)
- What was the lesson or failure that helped you the most to reach the place you are in now? (33:42)
