About this episode
Larry Weidel interviews Mitch Matthews about the importance of curiosity and mentorship in building a successful coaching empire.
What if the secret to scaling your empire starts with asking better questions? In this episode of Big Hitters, Larry Weidel sits down with Mitch Matthews, a coach to top 1% performers and founder of Dream Think Do, to explore why curiosity beats credentials, how to extract wisdom from mentors without wasting years, and the exact framework that turned his training side-hustle into a multi-million-dollar coaching empire. From his early days at a Schwinn bike shop to coaching CEOs and Oscar winners, Mitch reveals the real mechanics of success: listening more, leading through genuine interest, and the discipline to iterate fast. Whether you're building your next revenue stream or scaling your existing one, this conversation cuts through the noise to show you how proximity to the right people and the willingness to be humble compound into extraordinary results.
