The Matthews Mentality Podcast

Entrepreneur and healthcare investor Marcus Whitney joins the Matthews Mentality podcast to discuss his journey from growing up in Brooklyn and dropping out of college to teaching himself to code, becoming a CTO, and eventually co-founding and leading Jumpstart Health Investors, an early-stage healthcare venture firm. He explains why building companies in healthcare is uniquely difficult due to regulation and structural barriers like certificates of need, and why healthcare is now being “flanked” by multiple forces of disruption. Whitney also shares how he helped build Nashville SC from a fourth-division nonprofit into an MLS franchise, why he wrote Create and Orchestrate after experiences with prison entrepreneurship programs and a near-jail moment in his youth, and what jiu-jitsu taught him about humility, resilience, and pain tolerance.00:00 Entrepreneurship Fine Line00:58 Meet Marcus Whitney02:09 Jiu Jitsu Origins02:39 Healthcare VC Focus05:39 Why Healthcare Is Hard07:40 Brooklyn Eighties10:13 Self Belief And Wrestling13:15 College Dropout Lessons15:18 First Kid Turning Point16:08 Learning To Code17:51 First Startup Reality Check21:12 Entrepreneurship Misconceptions22:38 Velocity Hits Healthcare24:04 Nashville Healthcare Edge25:01 Pitching And Portfolio Math27:56 Knowing You Hit It31:40 Nashville SC Ownership34:33 Why He Wrote The Book38:37 Risk And Learning Styles38:53 Writing The Book39:30 Kids And Being Heard39:56 Finding Jiu Jitsu42:12 Competing And Winning Worlds44:21 Training Pressure And Balance46:12 Jiu Jitsu Lessons For Life49:07 Humility And Team Culture52:59 Why Mexico City55:46 Decisive Moves And Safety58:49 Advice To My Younger Self01:00:55 Integrity For Entrepreneurs01:03:00 Message To Brooklyn Kids01:07:47 A Co Founder Who Had My Back01:10:37 Co Founding Nashville SC01:12:32 Hardest Parts And Politics01:15:28 Closing Thoughts And Farewell

On the 100th episode of the Matthews Mentality podcast, Kyle Matthews interviews his brother Clay Matthews, a former Green Bay Packers linebacker and the franchise’s all-time sack leader. Clay discusses life after football with three kids and working outdoors, then recounts nearly taking a commercial real estate internship arranged by Kyle before choosing to pursue the NFL. He reflects on being a late bloomer, walking on at USC, struggling with homesickness and thoughts of transferring, and earning his role through special teams before breaking out as an edge rusher. Clay shares Pete Carroll’s competition-driven culture, the 2009 draft process and Green Bay trading up to select him, his “welcome to the NFL” moment, what made Packers fandom unique, and key Super Bowl XLV leadership and film-study moments shaped by coach Kevin Greene. He also talks mindset, injuries, fame, retirement, NIL/transfer-portal resilience, and off-field stories including Pitch Perfect and fan encounters.

In this Matthews Mentality Podcast episode, host Kyle Matthews interviews Dr. Debra Clary, founder and CEO of the Clary Group and author of The Curiosity Curve (launching with Fast Company in October 2025). Clary shares how she grew up feeling like an underdog and used that mindset to outwork others, beginning her career as a 4:00 AM Frito-Lay route driver in Detroit before moving into leadership roles at major organizations including Coca-Cola, Jack Daniels, Papa John’s, and Humana. She recounts learning credibility through discipline, building trust with backdoor receivers to increase route sales, earning a promotion to manager in nine months, and discovering the “power of a question” after being publicly accused of damaging truck tires that weren’t hers. Clary describes being fired after a corporate shakeup at Frito-Lay, landing at Coca-Cola through a recruiter connection, saving the Papa John’s account by gathering franchisee feedback and securing a video from Coca-Cola president Jack Stahl, then later being hired—and fired—by Papa John’s. After joining Jack Daniels as VP of strategy, she earned a doctorate at George Washington University and later moved to Humana, where she founded and ran a Leadership Institute developing the top 600 leaders, then supported enterprise-wide onboarding and performance efforts under a new CEO. The conversation centers on her 2019 “joke, question, and puzzle” that led her to commission MIT researchers to study curiosity and performance, ultimately prompting her to leave corporate life, start her firm, and build a framework for balancing curiosity and decisiveness. Clary explains the book’s “optimal amount of curiosity” and the four drivers of curiosity—exploration, openness, inspirational creativity, and focused engagement—while also discussing working motherhood, getting help to scale at home, women supporting women in leadership, and the realities of entrepreneurship, including taxes, hiring support, and the long sales cycle before momentum arrived in her third year.00:00 Underdog Mindset02:26 Why Curiosity Matters03:03 The Italy Train Moment05:07 MIT Research Breakthrough06:03 Writing the Curiosity Curve09:16 Growing Up in Michigan12:35 Frito Lay Route Driver15:32 Hacking Route Sales18:21 Union Rules and Weekends19:23 CEO Notices the Spike24:52 From Driver to Manager25:45 Leading Different People33:15 Hard Lessons on Firing35:57 Women in Corporate America37:26 Women Supporting Women39:48 Women Supporting Women40:11 Fired at Frito Lay42:57 Risk Taking Lessons43:32 Reebok Storm Connection44:30 Coke GM to Global45:05 Saving Papa Johns46:30 Calling the President48:05 Leaving Coke Reflection48:59 Hired Then Fired Again50:53 Jack Daniels Lifeline53:18 Working Mom Survival56:15 Family Business Culture57:24 Doctorate Grind59:37 Curiosity as Driver01:02:59 Humana Leadership Institute01:06:19 Called to Entrepreneurship01:09:13 Founder Reality Check01:11:02 When It Finally Clicked01:13:20 Craziest Investor Day01:15:51 Legacy and Curiosity Curve01:18:02 Curiosity Framework01:19:39 Closing and Where to Find
