Drawing from his journey as an investor, operator, and author, Matt explains how “burning the boats” and eliminating a safety net sharpens focus, strengthens decision-making, and pushes people to reject mediocrity. He reframes the idea of a chip on your shoulder as healthy defiance rooted in self-belief and self-worth, not anger. The conversation also explores how confronting internal and external obstacles can create sustained momentum without leading to burnout.➡️ Show Linkshttps://successstorypodcast.com YouTube: https://youtu.be/h9Jr5KyfDfI Apple: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/matt-higgins-ceo-co-founder-of-rse-ventures-burn-the-boats/id1484783544 Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/episode/6ztVvD0sroMczoPizehM5S ➡️ Watch the Podcast on YouTubehttps://www.youtube.com/c/scottdclary
