Matt Miller spent the first 9 years of his career as an Air Force pilot, before entering the corporate world to work at both Abbott Laboratories and Valassis. While a top performer for both companies, his long term desire was to start a business and be his own boss.  A good friend one day mentioned the gum ball machines he and his young daughters owned, and that conversation began a 10 year business quest that has broughtMatt's company, School Spirit Vending, to the cutting edge of both the vending and school fundraising industries.  Today, School Spirit Vending's Hassle-Free fundraising program is helping schools in 40+ states raise money in it's own unique way.   Matt originally appeared on Episode 005 of the show.   Matt Miller Show Highlights How SSV helps schools fundraise hassle-free Custom stickers can generate easy cash for your school - and all you have to do is cash a check Funny money is hot right now Off-site culture building with SSV Tradition isn’t a good reason to do something SSV value: Family is foundational.
