Life Drives Success | Episode 12: Matt Friedman

Life Drives Success is a podcast hosted by Nick Powills, author of "Sticks & Stones: Building Entrepreneurial Success from Life's Struggles." 

The way Powills sees it? People are born entrepreneurial, it's not a trait. We all possess this internal drive, however, life works in such a way that not all of us get the chance to capitalize. For Powills, lemonade stands and baseball card sales were the early manifestations of that innate entrepreneurial spirit; it was the bullying he endured at an early age, however, that served as that first point of motivation to succeed. 

As the CEO of content marketing agency No Limit Agency* and publisher of digital content hubs 1851 Franchise and ESTATENVY, Powills funnels his creative energy into telling the stories that move people. Life Drives Success is a vehicle to satiate curiosity, explore new ideas and connect with others in a way that generates motivation, getting to the heart of that entrepreneurial spirit that exists within us all. 

On this week's episode of Live To Tell, Nick interviews Matt Friedman, co-founder and CEO of Wing Zone. The two talk about how Matt's love of chicken wings propelled him to start his own delivery business at age 20. Met with a lot of doubt at the beginning of their business journey, Matt and his business partner's genuine desire to prove to everyone that their chicken wing delivery concept could succeed was a key part in how Wing Zone has thrived over the last 25 years.
