Matt Higgins, CEO of RSE, on the journey of overcoming poverty to being a Shark on Shark Tank!

Matt Higgins is a living embodiment of the American Dream, he aspired to make a better life for himself so did college for 7 years while working for 5 bucks an hour hoping to achieve a higher paying job. He became Press Secretary to the Mayor of New York, youngest at the time, and lead operations for the September 11th memorial in New York later on. As he had a relationship with Stephen Ross, owner of the Miami Dolphins, Matt realized there was a great opportunity to back entrepreneurs via its platform so ultimately created RSE! His grit, determination, and willingness to take risks has shaped the world we live in today by being the only partner in Gary Vee's Vayner Media, believing brands would need to adapt to the social landscape, helping Resy become the go to restaurant reservation service, and more through a Burn the Boats mentality! Hope you enjoy!
