Jeremy G. Barker is a visionary entrepreneur, father of four and founder of Murphy Door Inc. — the hidden‑door furniture company that has grown from humble beginnings into an industry leader and was recognized by Fortune as one of America’s Most Innovative Companies in 2025【698973352202794†L70-L76】. Under his leadership, Murphy Door has been celebrated for its innovation and rapid growth, and Jeremy was a finalist for the 2024 Ernst & Young Entrepreneur of the Year award【698973352202794†L70-L76】.
Before venturing into business, Jeremy dedicated years to public service as a firefighter and paramedic. Transitioning from emergency services to entrepreneurship taught him that mistakes in business are opportunities to learn and grow rather than life‑or‑death moments【698973352202794†L84-L92】. Driven by what he calls an “addiction to the extreme sport of business,” he pursues challenging ventures, builds eight‑figure companies and mentors others to chase big dreams.
Through the 90 Proof Wisdom podcast, Jeremy shares lessons on startup growth, leadership and personal development, drawing on his own experiences and those of the inspiring guests he interviews. He is active in his community, supporting initiatives that uplift others and promote innovation. When he isn’t running his businesses or recording podcasts, Jeremy enjoys spending time with his wife Shannon and their four children.
