Matt Radicelli

Founder, Mentor Pods

Education: Master’s degree, School of Hard Knocks

How I Approach My Day: I try to approach each day with clarity, urgency and perspective. I like to know what actually matters before I start reacting to everything that is loud. I have learned that being busy is not the same as being effective.

Favorite Quote: “You can have everything in life you want, if you will just help enough other people get what they want.” — Zig Ziglar

My Leadership Style: Direct, practical and people first. I like clarity. I like action. I like honest conversations that actually move something forward. 

What Would Surprise Someone to Learn About Me: I am a builder at heart, but not just with businesses. I love tinkering with technology, music, production, home projects and systems that make life better. 

An Important Lesson I Learned: A business should serve your life, not quietly take it over. 

If I Could Star in a TV Show or Movie: Probably something like Shark Tank meets The Profit, but with more humor and less drama
