The Fight for More: Matt Arroyo’s Journey of Personal and Business Growth
In this episode, Rick II interviews Matt Arroyo, a Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu Black Belt, UFC fighter, and entrepreneur who built a thriving gym in Tampa. Matt shares the highs and lows of his journey, from balancing a UFC fighting career with starting a new business, to making a pivotal choice that changed everything. He reveals how faith and following Ramsey’s financial guidance were the turning points that allowed his business to thrive—leading to an unexpected opportunity to move into a 9,000 sq ft space.
Matt also dives into how a risky decision to invest in social media transformed his business in just three months, skyrocketing his following from 3,000 to 300,000 and catching the attention of major organizations like the UFC. He credits his faith for giving him peace during the toughest challenges, including the uncertainty of the COVID-19 pandemic. But what was it about Jiu-Jitsu—and his faith—that made him resilient in the face of adversity? Tune in to discover how Matt’s story of perseverance, courage, and trust in a higher plan can inspire anyone facing their own crossroads.
