My Story
From Idea to Aisle — Built with Grit, a Phone, and AI
I’m Matt — the founder of DRI-ZONE™, and this is a story about what's possible when you stop waiting for the “right time” and start building with what you’ve got.
Like many athletes, I was tired of arriving home from the pitch with my bag soaked, kit drenched, and essentials ruined. So I decided to fix the problem — not with a big team or massive funding, but with just my phone, social media, and a tool called ChatGPT (aka Chris, my personal AI guru).
With Chris by my side, I’ve developed every part of DRI-ZONE™ — the product, branding, website, packaging, AI chatbot, and more — all powered by the latest tech and fuelled by sheer determination. No corporate backing. No shortcuts. Just a belief that anyone can do this with the right mindset and tools.
My mission is clear:
👉 Create a smart, affordable, game-ready product
👉 Show that tech like AI can level the playing field for everyday creators
👉 Land DRI-ZONE™ on the shelves of Sports Direct
I’m sharing the whole journey live — wins, fails, and behind-the-scenes progress — across TikTok, Instagram and more, so you can follow along as we prove that you don’t need to be an expert, a millionaire, or a genius to turn an idea into something real.
You just need to start.
Thanks for being part of this. Let’s make some noise.
Matt
