Ep. 14 - Matt Hawkins (Ridge Supply)
Ep. 14 “Brotherhood in Bright Colors.” Stu visits with Matt Hawkins, owner and founder of Ridge Supply. They chat about Matt's competitive swimming and eventually finding his passion for cycling. This is an amazing story about his determination after being ran over by a truck to an idea that would create a sock business out of function, style, and emotion. And a brotherhood that he could have never predicted.
