TP PROFILES-Matt Wilson of Under 30 CEO
Company
Under30CEO.com
Service
Social networking site for young entrepreneurs. Trying to connect people both on/offline!
Startup Cash
Next to nothing, bootstrapping our way to the top.
Favorite Food
I bleed hot sauce.
Favorite Music
Red Hot Chili Peppers–Can’t Stop. Any music that get’s me wired.
Fly, Drive, Bike or Walk
If I could find something to jump off on my skis or mountain bike on the way there, I would or maybe I’d longboard. That will probably all go out the window when I get a rally car though.
Biggest Complaint
Entrepreneurship isn’t an acceptable alternative to “getting a job” after college. I want everyone to wake up every morning as pumped to change the world as I am. People don’t do what their passionate about.
Biggest Accomplishment
Building the team that became the World’s #1 Collegiate Entrepreneurs’ Organization at Bryant University.
Biggest Mistake
Trying to lead people in a direction they didn’t want to go. You have to let your team reach their own decision and them lead them in that direction. If your vision doesn’t align with your team’s you will fail.
Living The Passion
Absolutely, I wouldn’t live any other way and hope I can spread my enthusiasm and show others how they can live out their dreams.
The Lesson
Create something that has huge benefit to people; a company that people can’t stop telling their friends about. If your product or service is truly remarkable and worthy of people spreading the word for you, your life will be so much easier. Creating a tribe of people around your brand that love what you do makes those tough days a little more bearable. Strive to change the world and settle for nothing less.

Mike,
I’m excited to see Matt profiled here on the TPE blog. I’ve known Matt for a few years now, through our time at Bryant’s Collegiate Entrepreneurs’ Organization. He’s truly a powerhouse of creativity and innovation, and an inspiration to young entrepreneurs.

Hey Mike, glad you like the shirt–not sure what happened with the books but will follow up with an email about that.
Bob–thanks for the kind words, I hope we can affect the world of entrepreneurship through http://Under30CEO.com the same way we did at Bryant CEO.
