In this episode of Rock Solid, host Bryan Eisenberg sits down with entrepreneur and former CEO Mathias Ihlenfeld to explore his incredible journey—from arriving in the U.S. with almost nothing to building a $100M global brand.
Mathias shares how he helped scale Woom Bikes, disrupting a 200-year-old industry by focusing on one simple idea: designing bikes specifically for kids. But the real story goes deeper—into risk, resilience, and the power of true customer-centricity.

- How Mathias grew from selling just 13 bikes to explosive 1600% growth
- Why most companies THINK they’re customer-focused (but aren’t)
- The difference between customer experience and employee experience
- How to build a strong company culture that actually scales
- The hard truths about entrepreneurship, burnout, and leadership
Mathias also shares his transition from CEO to coach, where he now helps entrepreneurs and leaders become the best version of themselves—both in business and life.
