This is excellent on refining your leadership skills and shaping your ways to be more successful. I would definitely recommend to read this book!!

As a former student of Matt’s, I was so excited to hear that he was coming out with a book. He had such a pivotal impact on me as a student at Harvard. But the in class curriculum is only a portion of that impact. It was the conversations after classes where where he encouraged me, pushed my thinking, and also listened, that had an impact on me. Matt is extremely generous and thoughtful with his time, his network and his story. And this book shows exactly that. Burn the Boats is a masterclass in unleashing your potential. Matt does a masterful job of using autobiographical narratives to inspire the reader to take action in their own lives. He transparently shares the obstacles along his journey, while also acknowledging the privileges inherent in it. Burn the Boats is an honest and inspiring take on breaking down barriers and creating your own path. It’s a must read for aspiring entrepreneurs, investors and change makers in any career path!

After reconnecting with Matt Higgins, whom I had known during his time with the NY Jets when my digital agency assisted with the new stadium technology, I decided to read "Burn the Boats." Despite both of us being startup investors (albeit on different scales) and entrepreneurs, I had not kept up with his career and was unaware of his involvement with Shark Tank. The book proved to be an exceptional read and I wholeheartedly recommend it to anyone seeking inspiration in their professional lives. While it primarily speaks to entrepreneurs, its relevance extends to anyone who experiences occasional self-doubt in both their personal and professional spheres. Given that self-doubt affects a significant portion of the population, this book has wide-ranging appeal. Matt's personal story serves as a testament to his resilience, work ethic, and creativity. Despite the privileges he enjoyed as a white male, he managed to transcend his upbringing, making it a valuable guide for those seeking to navigate the hurdles on their path toward realizing their full potential. I had anticipated another typical success story from a businessman, devoid of discussions about failures, challenges, negative thoughts, depression, anxiety, and self-doubt. However, "Burn the Boats" surpassed my expectations by delving into these important aspects. Matt's candid accounts and wisdom are best experienced by picking up a copy of the book and perhaps even listening to the audio version. This way, you'll have access to his honest narratives and insights whenever you require support on your journey to becoming the best version of yourself.
