Matt sits down with Bolstr founder Jay Yoo. Bolstr makes ergonomic everyday carry bags and accessories designed to help simplify your life, unburden your mind, and bring a little zen into your everyday life.
Jay isn’t quite a serial entrepreneur, but more of a serial problem solver. He initially got his start as a product manager before moving on to the fashion industry leaving his mark, only to go on and completely revamp how we look at wallets with the inception of the 'Slimmy'. Despite substantially affecting each industry he enters and making it seem like nothing, Jay’s biggest feat has been staying level-headed and focused through all the hard parts of his career. Jay is an incredible reminder that no success comes without struggle and keeping the right perspective and healthy habits pays back in dividends.
