Erik is an entrepreneur who uses franchising as a vehicle to success. He has been involved in many aspects of franchising from building franchise sales systems & multi-brand ownership to helping others find great franchises to buy.
Top 3 Value Bombs:
1. Franchising can be good for anybody but you need to know what you want for the business; you need to be honest with yourself and have the passion for the business or product.
2. You need to hire the best-of-the-best employees; someone who thinks, act and behave like an owner.
3. Relationships can excel yourself as a person and yourself as a business person much faster than just you grinding it out yourself and be generous with your time to give back.

Matteo has always been obsessed with performance. Athletic performance, business performance, and now sleep performance.
An athlete from a young age—he was a competitive ski racer in his native Italy and played tennis and raced cars on the European stage. Not surprisingly, sleepless nights were a way of life. It was his quest for more restorative sleep, in fact, that led him to quit his previous life and launch EightSleep, a New York-based company dedicated to fueling human potential through optimal sleep, and to turning the bed into a seamless health platform for improved health, performance, and longevity.
Top 3 Value Bombs:
1. Lack of sleep can affect your longevity and health.
2. When looking for funding, the key is having traction; it will make the process a lot easier.
3. The future of the sleep industry is that you will be able to sleep for 6 hours yet get more rest with the help of technology.

At 29, Brian decided that a life in Public Accounting was not for him! He quit his job and went to California to look for a new business idea and to surf. He soon noticed that there were no sheepskin boots in California, so he and a friend brought six pairs from Australia to test and so, “UGG” was born.
Top 3 Value Bombs:
1. You have to have a certain amount of ignorance to be a good entrepreneur because if you knew all the obstacles ahead of you, you will never start a business.
2. You have to capture the image of what you want your target market to feel, the more you put emotions to your visuals the more successful you can be.
3. The most disappointing disappointments will become your greatest blessings.
