Matthew Corrin

In this presentation, Matthew shares the inspirational story behind Freshii – his bet on the healthy fast food market. Freshii’s non-traditional business model and five guiding principles has helped lead its rapid growth:Talk is cheap. Execution sets you apart.Launch fast, fail fast, iterate faster.Numbers rule.Build a killer culture for your business, not a culture that kills your business.Pick your battles

The story of Freshii and its success in changing the face of the fast-casual food market will inspire audiences interested in growth, leadership, company culture, and embracing opportunity. A ‘consummate salesperson’, Matthew’s direct and confident speaking style will motivate audiences to understand and take calculated risks in their approach to business.

Increasingly the Freshii customer, franchise partners and team members are of the millennial generation. In this presentation, Matthew draws on Freshii’s core-competency of targeting his very own generation to show how success can be achieved by strategically tapping into this growing consumer market. He explores how millennials are the ‘customization nation,’ caring deeply about the triple bottom line – people, profit and the planet.

Starting Freshii was an experience like no other. The opening week consisted of the chef slicing his finger, the kitchen manager breaking his nose, half the staff walking off the line and an employee robbing the restaurant. Matthew draws on his Freshii experience in learning from failure along with his Next Gen Den wisdom to show how the entrepreneur adventure is not for everyone. He lays out some hazards to motivate potential entrepreneurs to think differently in their approach to business.
