BEAM - Matt Lombardi and Kevin Moran
We have our friends Matt Lombardi and Kevin Moran on the show today. Kevin and Matt founded the startup company BEAM. We are talking today about the challenges of launching a “start-up" company, and living the entrepreneurial life. Kevin and Matt come from an athletic background. Matt from pro Hockey, and Kevin from pro Baseball. These guys are no stranger to risk and hard work. We talk about how the athletic training and mindset, helped prepare them for an equally risk entangled life of launching a new business, and making it a huge success. Starting a new business is never easy. Hearing these guys talk about what they went through, what worked, what did not, might be just the conversation you need to hear to help plan your start up. They share some great stories and useful advice, from the hard path they have treaded to create the company Beam. Kevin and Matt have always been active guys. as avid cross-fit competitors, ironman triathletes, marathoners and former professional athletes, pushing their bodies and minds to the brink. When the aches and pains from that lifestyle started taking a toll, that’s when the search for a remedy began. They wanted something that met their personal wellness standards, but the road to finding a product that was all-natural and transparent about ingredients was frustrating, so they created their own, using high-quality hemp that’s effective, natural and non-toxic.

Show Notes
Matt Lombardi | Cofounder & Co-Owner Matt Lombardi grew up in the greater Boston area, aspiring to one day play for the Boston College hockey team. Lombardi achieved this goal, becoming a standout player contributing to the team’s 2008 and 2010 national championship wins. After graduating from the Carroll School of Management with a Bachelor of Science degree in Marketing, Lombardi went on to play professional hockey with the New Jersey Devils and Pittsburgh Penguins organizations. Lombardi later moved away from professional sports and into the world of entrepreneurship but continues to be passionate about pushing his limits athletically and professionally. While training for the 2018 Boston Marathon with fellow former professional athlete, Kevin Moran, the two friends felt the effects of old injuries while striving to perform at their best. Searching for a remedy, Moran and Lombardi looked to CBD products but were dismayed at what they found - an unregulated marketplace full of products with trace amounts of THC and other unlisted toxic additives. Rather than turning away from the industry, this experience inspired Moran and Lombardi to create Beam. Beam offers effective wellness products that harness the benefits of natural, non-toxic nano CBD and other high-quality ingredients, empowering others to push their limits and pursue their passions by improving their physical and mental wellness.
