“The status quo never goes quietly into the good night. This fight just started.”
-Matt de Gruyter, Co-Founder of Next Level Burger
On this week’s episode of the Eat Green Make Green Podcast I sit down with the awesome Matt de Gruyter. Matt is the Co-Founder of America’s first plant-based burger chain, Next Level Burger, which now has over 10 locations in multiple states. We talk about how Matt dropped his very comfortable career in the oil and gas industry to start Next Level Burger at a time and place where many thought he was crazy, we talk about the intense reality of entrepreneurship, why you must be obsessed to succeed as an entrepreneur, the many challenges of starting Next Level Burger, why all plant-based restaurant brands are on the same team and why it’s crucial we all eat more plants for the future of our world.
