🚀 Matt Freedman calls himself the least talented person ever to set foot in Nashville. He also has a publishing deal and close to 500 songs written.

He was a red shirt quarterback at Bloomsburg who waited almost three years for the starting job, then tore his PCL, MCL and meniscus on a single rollout in an inner squad scrimmage. Fourteen months of recovery. He says he was depressed, holding a clipboard, charting plays, going up and down Bloomsburg hills on crutches in the winter. Music was the only outlet left, so he wrote songs. Years of mailing them to Nashville publishers produced a Keith Urban pitch that got put on hold and has still never gone anywhere, and that dead end is what produced the relationship that led to a publishing deal. He calls it a fourteen year process, overnight in the making.

🎧 Anthony Pinto hosts Bucks Co Living and works as a top-producing RE/MAX REALTOR® in Newtown with 16+ years as a Realtor, Property Manager, and Relocation Specialist. He spends his days with the people building things here, and he and Matt are Council Rock and Bishop Egan guys who never played against each other. Matt brings the business half. A rogue eighty degree day near St. Patrick's Day, a trunk full of clubs, nobody in golf shoes, and a stop at Home Depot for drill bits to screw spikes into a pair of Sperry Top-Siders. Forty orders from friends turned into a call to the spike manufacturer, who asked why he did not just make the whole shoe and handed him a factory in Taiwan. His last $15,000 bought 300 pairs. They sold out by Christmas. The next year he moved 10,000 pairs and sold to a private equity firm outside Boston. Two years into the startup he joined next, Facebook bought it for over a billion dollars.
