Episode 54 with our guest, Matt Drinkhahn.
Matt grew up a military brat, whose father was an Air Force pilot and mother was an English teacher, and he moved 17 times in 21 years, including 13 different states and 4 different high schools before heading to college. Matt began selling CutCo knives in college and he was transformed into a selling machine. Matt graduated college with a Psychology and Business double major and went to work for a major telecom company selling business telecom services. He led his team to the top of his division’s charts.
As he ascended the ranks, Matt started to see his corporate employer’s values and culture were not in alignment with his own. He began to question if this disconnect and “grinning and bearing” it for a career would be something he wanted to do.
Matt decided that staying wasn’t in the cards, and he made the leap in the first year of his marriage with his wife pregnant with their first child, joining a friend’s coaching business to coach executives in strategy, leadership, communication and sales. It was a lean 3 years, yet they made it work and now he enjoys living his values and being present for his family everyday.
Tune in to learn how he did it!
