In this episode of What Are You Made Of?, Mike “C-Roc” sits down with Maria Matarelli, Founder and CEO of Formula Ink, an international business consultancy helping leaders and organizations achieve higher performance through proven systems, strategy, and execution.

Maria shares how resilience shaped her journey—from working three jobs to put herself through college to managing multimillion-dollar budgets and leading large teams at just 22 years old. She opens up about delivering measurable results for Fortune 100 companies, why so many organizations struggle with execution, and how proven frameworks like Agile and Lean can turn complexity into clarity.

The conversation also dives into the personal side of success, including taking a million-dollar business loss, navigating betrayal, and embracing radical responsibility as the key to reclaiming power and momentum. Maria reflects on her global speaking career, a life-changing retreat in Bali that turned into a two-year reset, and how she now curates high-trust VIP networking events in Las Vegas that connect founders, investors, and creatives for meaningful growth.

This episode is a candid and inspiring look at resilience, ownership, and building results that truly last.
