On this episode of The Entrepreneur Ethos podcast, host Jarie Bolander sits down with Matthew Gattozzi, founder of Goodo Studios, to explore the journey from struggling artist to ambitious entrepreneur. With insights that blend grit, resilience, and creativity, this episode is a roadmap for anyone who wants to turn their passion into purpose. Matthew’s story begins in the unlikely world of classical ballet, where he spent over a decade training to perform at the highest level. A career-ending injury at 21 forced him to reimagine his future, leading to a transformative journey of self-discovery. Turning to his long-time love of photography and video, Matthew knocked on doors—literally—to build a portfolio and pay rent. Years later, he’s the driving force behind Goodo Studios, a thriving video production house with aspirations as bold as creating a Super Bowl commercial. This episode unpacks the challenges of creating not just art, but a scalable business that blends innovation with soul. Matthew shares how he’s tackling the complex world of creative operations, balancing the need for efficiency with the pursuit of original, compelling ideas. He also dives into how AI is becoming a key ally, not a competitor, for creatives, and how storytelling remains the heart of impactful work—even as technology evolves. If you’re a creative looking for actionable strategies to grow your craft into a business—or an entrepreneur seeking inspiration to keep climbing your second mountain—this conversation is for you. Tune in to hear how Matthew is proving that business isn’t the enemy of art; it’s the ultimate canvas. Don’t miss this insightful and inspiring episode of The Entrepreneur Ethos!

AudioBook: Audible| Kobo| Authors Direct | Google Play | Apple Introduction Entrepreneurship is often seen as a solitary pursuit, however, building a thriving startup ecosystem requires more than just individual grit—it needs community, trust, and a deep understanding of complex systems. Many entrepreneurs struggle to find the right support network, and too often, local communities fail to create the conditions for entrepreneurial success. So, how do we move from isolated efforts to a collaborative, vibrant entrepreneurial ecosystem? On this episode of The Entrepreneur Ethos, Jarie Bolander sits down with Chris Heivly, co-founder of Raleigh Durham Startup Week and author of Build the Fort, to dive deep into the essence of community building for startups. Chris, a seasoned zero-to-one expert and investor, shares his unique perspective on how successful entrepreneurial communities don’t follow the traditional hierarchical systems that govern most organizations. Instead, they thrive when they're built on networks of peers, reducing friction for entrepreneurs and fostering an environment where ideas and connections flourish organically. Chris recounts his own journey, traveling the world to study various startup ecosystems, and reveals the power of small, consistent actions—what he calls "success through a thousand nudges"—that can transform entire cities into hubs for innovation. From mentoring to running startup events, Chris emphasizes the importance of giving back and building a legacy that inspires the next generation of founders. If you're an entrepreneur, community leader, or simply someone interested in how startups can shape local economies, this episode is packed with actionable insights. Learn how you can reduce friction, cultivate trust, and help create an ecosystem where entrepreneurs don’t just survive—they thrive. Tune in now to discover the building blocks of a successful startup community and why your role in it matters more than you might think.
