He Sold His First Business at 24 and Built Two More Before 30

This week on Lost and Founders, host Julian Fayad sits down with Matthew Nicholas, founder of retail asset management company Greyfield and Snap Fitness franchisee, for a raw and honest conversation about what it really takes to build multiple businesses from scratch. Matthew started his first business at 18, scaled it to 25 staff, merged with his biggest competitor and sold it all by 24. What came next was anything but slowing down. He unpacks the lessons, the mistakes and the mindset behind building two very different businesses, why knowing your strengths is the most underrated skill in business, and what great leadership actually looks like in practice. If you are a young entrepreneur or someone building something from nothing, Episode 22 is for you.
