In the final episode of Season 1, Derek and co-founder & COO Michael Manuccia wrap up the story of Strivr’s first two years in business — this time with help from two of the company’s earliest employees who lived it day-in and day-out… Mike Colucci and Peter Murray.
From spending endless days on NFL practice fields to creating virtual reality content for the U.S. National Soccer and Ski teams, Mike and Peter share what it was like to be “boots on the ground” during Strivr’s scrappy, early days. Together, the group reflects on the realities of building something from nothing, the chaos that comes with growth, and why Strivr’s early hiring practices were… let’s just say, unconventional.
It’s a candid, behind-the-scenes look at the moments, lessons, and people that shaped Strivr from the very beginning.
