Matt DeGraw: Building a 21-Year Career While Raising Deaf Elite Athlete Daughters

In this episode, we sit down with Matt DeGraw to unpack the real story behind a 21-year corporate career, and the life built alongside it. Matt shares how he went from barely graduating high school to becoming a long-tenured leader, the pivotal moments that forced him to take life seriously, and why he chose learning over money early in his career even taking a $20K pay cut to do it. But this conversation goes beyond career growth. Matt opens up about raising elite athlete daughters, balancing family while traveling for work, and what it actually takes to stay present when your responsibilities are pulling you in every direction. We also dive into discipline, decision-making, relationships, and why success isn’t just hard work—it’s also timing and luck.
