In this episode of Default Profitable, host Matt Nettleton chats with Matt Hammond, a former corporate lawyer turned trivia entrepreneur. They dive into Hammond's journey from practicing law at a big firm and running political campaigns to launching Hambone's Trivia back in 2012. The conversation covers how a casual weather app game at a downtown Indy bar sparked it all, growing from free beer gigs to a full-scale business with bar trivia, corporate team-building, fundraisers, themed events, and even gamified employee training for major companies.

Have you ever wondered what happens when a high-powered attorney trades suits for trivia nights and turns a hobby into a thriving empire? What does it take to scale from solo hosting at dive bars to managing 75 hosts and landing big corporate clients like Eli Lilly and Salesforce? How do you craft questions that spark reason over rote recall, making games memorable and fun for everyone? And ending on a light note, Hammond recalls starting out paid in Coors Lights and buffalo wraps—talk about upgrading to cash without the heartburn.
