📝 Editor’s Note
Today’s profile, Matt was also featured in Adrian Alfieri’s The Proof. His project bills itself as ‘wellness advice from world-class founders.’
Adrian’s project provided some of the initial inspiration for Rambull.
I could spend hours going through the stacks portion, which organizes 30 product recommendations per founder across Essentials, Fitness, Nutrition, Newsletters, Books, and Sleep.
I wont bore you with 30 but I thought I would share my 5 “essentials” —
Chemex coffee pour over. Every morning.
Shinola Notebook and Sharpie Gel Pens. I do like my remarkable tablet and google docs but I always find myself coming back to pen and paper.
Vouri Kore Shorts or Faherty All Day Shorts. Comfortable and versatile staples during the summer.
The Daily Podcast from the NYT. Michael Barbaro, IYKYK.
8 Sleep Mattress — yes, I know its stupid expensive but I swear my sleep is better. The data sure seems to suggest it.
Without further ado….
Why Matt?
Matt came recommended from Tom McElwee who shared that he thought Matt would be a great profile given his background as a men’s skincare entrepreneur. I can attest that skincare is an area that I’ve started to take more seriously as I get older. Matt has created a great brand and series of products in Huron. I encourage you to check it out.

Matt’s Recommendations
Written in his own words…
Brand
I'll plug Huron (I'm the co-founder) here. But if you're in the mood for a 'new summer scent,' our Sea Salt and Driftwood is incredible. It was named Best Fragrance of 2024 by Men's Health and is 1/4 of the price of what you'd buy from Le Labo (without sacrificing quality).
If fragrance isn't your jam, our Original Body Wash is a fan favorite:
Digital Tool
I've recently started using Endel for deep work in the mornings. Very soothing music, sh*t gets done, and time disappears!
Food and Drink
Was very excited L'Industrie now has a spot in the West Village in NYC. It was my favorite spot in Williamsburg.
Favorite bagel sandwich: the Jumpstart at Bagel Pub
Favorite 'no frills' restaurant: Bernie's (but you better show-up early!)
Favorite restaurant: Don Angie or L'Artusi
Well Being
I've recently started doing morning mobility work. What a game changer, especially as someone who sits all day. Here's one of my favorite accounts: https://www.instagram.com/coachgreen.pt/
Vice — I'm always searching for NYC's best chocolate chip cookie (zero self-control). The best chocolate chip cookie: Seven Grams
Professional
As pathetic as it sounds, I recently (started in January) blocking out my mornings. No calls, no meetings, just all to-do list items from 9-11am. I'm the most productive in the mornings so I've protected my mornings. An incredible hack that just took way too long to implement.

P.S. from Rambull — One of my daily chores is dishwashing. My mom recently told me about Dawn Powerwash spray. And for those of you who, like me, log hours at the sink each week, this is a gamechanger. Not my most interesting product rec but at $4.95 it might be dollar-for-dollar the most useful.
