Mathias Ihlenfeld
About the program:
Four years ago, Mathias Ihlenfeld stood before the Metropolitan Breakfast Club and shared The Ride of My Life—the story of bootstrapping woom bikes USA from a garage start-up into a nationally recognized brand with over $20M in revenue. He spoke about the challenges of building, the pressure of scaling, and the moment he stepped into the role of CEO of a $100M+ global company. It was a story of ambition, grit, and arrival.
This October, he returns with a different chapter—one that begins where most success stories end. After ten years of relentless growth, with woom now sold in more than 40 countries and over 2 million bikes delivered to children worldwide, Mathias made a choice that surprised many: he stepped away. Not to retire, but to recharge. Not to quit, but to reinvent.
What he didn't share four years ago was the personal roller coaster happening alongside the business success—the kind of challenges that test everything you think you know about yourself. The kind that force you to rebuild not just a company, but a life. Mathias navigated those years, came through the tunnel, and emerged with hard-won clarity about what truly matters. Today, he leads from a place of integration—where professional success and personal peace finally align.
In My Next Ride, Mathias explores what happens after the summit—when the external wins are secure but the internal questions remain. Through candid storytelling and interactive exercises, he will guide attendees through three frameworks that apply to both business and life: understanding what blocks our growth, recognizing which relationships fuel or drain us, and shifting from a life of success to one of significance. Participants will leave with a one-page roadmap to design their own next chapter with clarity, intention, and purpose.
