“Just surrounding yourself with the best people possible will lead to extraordinary results. This kind of combination of making ideas real and then surrounding yourself with great people is I think really some of the real antecedents to Blue Man Group.”
—Matt Goldman ’83, MBA ’84, LHD ’15
When he was a Clark student, Matt Goldman, co-founder Blue Man Group, knew that he wanted to be an entrepreneur. The form that ambition would take came later, through the people he surrounded himself with and the ideas he took seriously enough to make real. “That experience at Clark gave me a tremendous grounding and jumping-off point,” he says.
