Since he was a kid, Matt always wanted to be an entrepreneur. Using inspiration from his childhood, he decided to start a side gig to follow his dreams. His initial idea consisted of 50 latches that allow you to drop the Ford F-150 back seat down to access some secret storage. To his surprise, a Facebook post in a small F-150 group resulted in him selling out rather quickly. So, he began his journey to go at the business full-time.
His second product development was a bedside rack system for the F-150’s. This side hustle first took over a bedroom, then grew into the garage, and grew again into a storage unit that was run off a generator and a string of lights.
His biggest struggle has been dealing with knockoffs that originate from his success on Amazon. He even wrote a blog article warning other small business owners about the pitfalls and helping people learn from his experience.
Fast forward to today and BuiltRight Industries is housed in a 5000 sqft warehouse and has 2 full time employees and a couple part timers. He has worked hard to expand the business to other vehicles and continues to develop new products. And he has even begun selling his products through Turn14.

Clarification on the download, if you open the podcast on the phone, the way the player displays you can’t view the Download button. And you can’t zoom out to see it either.

I’ve been developing a product for internal combustion engines since 2015 using hydrogen gas to increase MPG and torque from water. I liked this podcast. Is there a way we could download these? I drive an hour to and from work out in Arizona / NM at the moment and there is no internet. Being able to download and listen would be nice.
