BEAM Co-Founder, Matt Lombardi ON: How To Overcome Pain, Adversity & Life's Loss To Fuel Your Passion & Create The Business Of Your Dreams

Matt Lombardi (@mattlombardi24) is a former professional athlete, entrepreneur, and co-founder of Beam (@beam). He began his collegiate athletic career at Boston College playing hockey, a dream he developed as a child. Winning two national championships in his four years, he went on to play professional hockey, signing with the New Jersey Devils and the Pittsburgh Penguins. Matt moved into a different career path after a bad injury in his last year. Throughout his entrepreneurial endeavors, he was still very devoted to his passion for sports and living an active lifestyle. In 2018, Matt was training for The Boston Marathon with his long-time friend and former professional athlete, Kevin Moran. The two trained rigorously while balancing their everyday social and work lives, which became not so seamless anymore. With that, they both found relief in CBD, and in their findings, they realized that there were many issues in the CBD marketplace. That is when Lombardi and Moran decided to create beam, their line of organic, pharmaceutical-grade, full-spectrum CBD products made from organic hemp grown in Colorado with no additives and consumer transparency.
