S1E15: The Strivr Story - Chapter 1 (feat. Trent Edwards and Michael Manuccia)

We’re nearing the end of Season 1 of The Golfing CEO, and there’s still one big “delusion” we haven’t unpacked — Derek’s belief that he will one day achieve an exit. Well, that’s all about to change, as today’s episode dives into the founding story of Strivr, told by the people who lived it. Join Derek as he sits down with two of his closest friends and co-founders, Michael Manuccia and Trent Edwards.

It’s a journey packed with big ideas, big promises to some of the biggest names in college and professional football, and the kind of big swings that only a startup in its earliest days can take. From the scrappy beginnings to the pivotal moments that helped Strivr pioneer virtual reality in the sports world, this conversation shares a candid look at how it all started — and how those early decisions paved the way for everything that came next.
