Good stuff Bob and thanks for posting. I knew Mat when he was a student and his brother worked for me. You could tell Mat was going to make it in the world after basketball. That said, I never thought he would be a billionaire someday.

Good article from the damn blue wall but it comes with a warning: do not, I repeat, do not open the comment section.

Yeah.. good tip, I suspect.

I'm not a business guy at all. I can barely add and don't own any sort of presentable clothing (I'm an aficionado of people, personalities, and the human condition).. but that article makes me wanna work there.

Impressive guy.

When I started in the late 80’s down here I became good friends with the head basketball coach. We were the same age and we liked beer. So our careers diverged he became a principal and eventually retired too. He had a job as a route distributed with ups for a while then his son who scored a 36 on the ACT and became an actuary started working for Ishbia. Since my buddy was still only 57 his son asked him to come work with them. He’s been there for about a year and change and can’t say enough about him. Knows all the Spartans. Says it’s a dream job.
