  • Have always been a big fan of Matt’s storytelling

    Really enjoyed the recent episode with Zitti's CEO Dante DiCicco. Have always been a big fan of Matt’s storytelling (I still remember his first Youtube video lol! Check it out) and he of course has a ton of insight/expertise in the food and tech scene.

    Shared this interview on my socials and in our weekly Curbivore newsletter. Look forward to future interviews :)
