    Matt Shoup - A Tale of Entrepreneurial Resilience: EP 120

    In this episode, we're joined by the remarkable Matt Shoup, an award-winning serial entrepreneur, author, and keynote speaker. Matt's journey into entrepreneurship began at the young age of 10 when he launched his first business, a lawn mowing service, driven by his desire to purchase a boombox. Since then, he's cultivated a passion for business that has propelled him to extraordinary success.
    Despite facing challenges, including significant debt and job loss, Matt's resilience and entrepreneurial spirit led him to found M & E Painting with just $100 to his name. From these humble beginnings, Matt has grown M & E Painting into a multimillion-dollar enterprise, earning numerous accolades along the way. With a refreshing message for entrepreneurs, Matt inspires others to "Pour Into People" and share their own stories of success. Join us as we delve into Matt's journey, his insights on business growth, and his commitment to family, travel, and culinary pursuits.

Ricky Kalmon - Mindset Expert ,

Really Word Conversations!

Jeff's podcast feels like a casual backyard chat with a neighbor, blending professional insights with personal stories in a way that resonates deeply with everyday life. It's a unique blend of warmth and wisdom that makes you feel right at home, yet inspired to grow.

Matthew Roda ,

Engaging and value driven

Too many podcasts are either fun to listen to, but lack true value, or they are packed with a bunch of valuable information, but they are dry and hard to stick around for. The Big Ticket Life does an amazing job of being the best of both worlds. Jeff G. has an innate ability to help his guests share interesting and insightful stories and lessons with the audience.

Laura Renn ,

Worth a listen!

Jeff is a great hosts and his conversations with his guests offer so much value!
