We had the good fortune of connecting with Demetrie King and we’ve shared our conversation below.

Hi Demetrie, what habits do you feel play an important role in your life?
The habits that have significantly contributed to my success include a consistent routine of listening to audiobooks, working out regularly, and actively networking. Listening to audiobooks has been invaluable in expanding my knowledge and staying inspired, even during busy times. Working out keeps me disciplined, focused, and energized, which is essential for maintaining high performance. Lastly, networking has opened up countless opportunities, allowing me to connect with like-minded individuals, gain insights, and collaborate on new ventures. Together, these habits have created a balanced, growth-oriented lifestyle that fuels my hunger for success.

Alright, so for those in our community who might not be familiar with your business, can you tell us more?
Getting to where I am today with Market Match has been a challenging yet rewarding journey. It certainly wasn’t easy—building a brand from the ground up involves countless obstacles, from navigating market dynamics to ensuring that our product truly meets the needs of our users. I overcame these challenges by staying resilient, continuously learning, and adapting to the ever-changing business environment. One key lesson I’ve learned is the importance of persistence and the power of innovation; without these, growth is impossible. I want the world to know that Market Match is built on a foundation of determination and a commitment to enhancing customer experiences by bridging the gap between consumers and the products they need. My story is one of perseverance and a relentless drive to make a meaningful impact in the marketplace.

Any places to eat or things to do that you can share with our readers? If they have a friend visiting town, what are some spots they could take them to?
If a friend were visiting from out of town, I’d first take them to Will Call Bar in Deep Ellum. The delicious food and service there are top-notch and always make me look like a rockstar for my recommendations. Next, we’d head over to The Local Shacks at Austin Ranch, Ringos Pub, Scruffy Duffies or the Bottle Rockets Bar. The Harder Concepts family always provide a great experience as soon as you walk into the establishment. Next, we would go to iCompete in Lewisville. This place has a great selection of games, from virtual reality to competitive arcade setups. What makes the experience even better is their variety of beverage options—craft beers, cocktails, and non-alcoholic choices to keep everyone happy. To cap off the visit, we’d go to the Fort Worth Stockyards to soak in the entertainment and truly experience the essence of Texas.

Who else deserves some credit and recognition?
I’d like to give a shoutout to Daymond John from Shark Tank and his book, The Power of Broke. His insights on leveraging limited resources to fuel creativity and success have been incredibly impactful on my journey. The principles he shares about grit, resilience, and maximizing opportunities have resonated with me deeply, guiding many of the decisions that have contributed to my success. I owe a lot of my drive and strategic thinking to the lessons learned from his work.
