This week on What’s Next with Trina Finch, meet Andrew Schlesser — better known around Lake Norman as Mattman, the Sleep Superhero from Sweet Dreams Mattress & Furniture. But before there was MattMan, there was Andrew, and his journey wasn’t always easy. Trina talks with Andrew about his earlier life, a setback that changed his direction, and the unexpected path that eventually brought MattMan to life. It’s a story of resilience, reinvention and discovering how a difficult chapter can lead to an entirely new purpose.
