Show Notes

Dan Frey (00:00:00):

Hello and welcome to the Rocket IT Podcast. My name is Dan Frey, and I’m really, really excited to be a guest host today because I get to do something that I think is going to be a blast for me. I get to hang out with two very good friends of mine, Matt and Maureen Hyatt, and the visionaries that were behind building an amazing business in Rocket IT.

Dan Frey (00:00:32):

We’re going to be able to talk about a lot of great things today that even I, as their friend am looking forward to hearing some of these things that I want to go over with them, I don’t even know. So this is going to be, I think, an excellent podcast. You know, when I thought about it I think all of us, whether we work for somebody else or we work for ourselves, always love to hear the stories of people that went out there, took a risk, built a great business and made it work. And Rocket IT has done that for 25 years. So I’m very much excited to hear these two visionaries talk about where they came from, where they are and where they want to go. So with that being said, I want to welcome my friends, Matt and Maureen Hyatt, to the podcast. Guys, how are you?

Matt Hyatt (00:01:15):

Good!

Maureen Hyatt (00:01:15):

Great.

Matt Hyatt (00:01:15):

Thank you. We really appreciate you volunteering.

Dan Frey (00:01:19):

Yeah!

Matt Hyatt (00:01:23):

On our show, right?

Dan Frey (00:01:23):

This was a heck yes, it wasn’t just a yes thing. I think there’s going to be a lot of fun and you know, you guys have helped me prep great. You know, we’re going to cover like four primary quadrants. We’re gonna talk about those early days when, you know, when you think about business owners early days are always the freakiest time. So I can’t wait to hear about that, but
