About me
Born and raised in Hartsville, South Carolina, Matthew C. Hines grew up with a love for sports, the outdoors, and community spirit. After graduating from high school in 1995, he pursued a degree in Marketing at Clemson University, where his interest in business and international affairs deepened. This passion eventually led him to law school, where he earned a dual degree—a Juris Doctorate and an MBA.
In 2004, Matt took a bold step by launching his own law firm immediately after completing his post-graduate studies. Despite the initial hurdles and skepticism from those around him, he persevered. Early success came with large real estate clients, rapidly expanding his business. However, the rapid growth outpaced his experience, leading to a significant setback and eventual bankruptcy in 2008.
Undeterred, Matt used this challenging period as a turning point. He reorganized his firm, laying a strong foundation based on knowledge, discipline, and effective management. The firm not only recovered but thrived, growing stronger with each passing year.
Matt’s entrepreneurial spirit didn’t stop with the law firm. He ventured into multiple industries, including medical offices, real estate, and social media. While some of his endeavors flourished and others faltered, each experience provided invaluable lessons in resilience and adaptability.
Today, Matt is the driving force behind several successful companies and has expanded his vision beyond business. His interest in global affairs and continuous improvement fuels his belief that positive change is a collective effort, far beyond the realm of business alone.
To share his journey and the wisdom he’s gained, Matt launched the «Hines on Air» podcast. This platform is dedicated to exploring stories of entrepreneurship, resilience, and the relentless pursuit of excellence. Through candid conversations with fellow entrepreneurs and thought leaders, the podcast aims to inspire and empower listeners to strive for improvement in every aspect of life.
Welcome to Hines on Air—where ambition meets action, and every challenge is a stepping stone to success.
