About Matt

I’m one of the most transparent and blunt MF’ers you’ll ever meet, so let me keep it 100 with you…

My names Matt, which I’m sure you’ve realized by now.

I’m someone that has had the carpet swept right out under my feet, hit the ground a whole bunch of times, but never gave up on what I believe to be possible.

I could sit here, type up some sizzle reel type of bio saying I’ve worked with Daymond John of Shark Tank, spoke around the country at colleges, universities and more, host a top ranked podcast, but there’s so much more to my journey.

I failed in many aspects of life – from the classroom to the ball field to the boardroom and beyond. That’s just what it is.

Getting accepted into high school? Didn’t happen until the graces of my athletic abilities came about.

Getting kicked out of two high schools? Well, that did happen.

Tearing the labrum in my shoulder while pitching during my senior year resulting in the loss of all college scholarships? Yup, that happened, too.

Going to college to study something I had zero desire of pursuing – ultimately leading to me failing out? Bet your bottom dollar on that being true.

Watching the woman who gave birth to me battle cancer? Add it to the list.

How about growing up with my parents divorced? Yup.

Regardless of the challenges that were faced, none of it stopped me from passionately pursuing my dreams. And, it shouldn’t stop you either.

I have a Master’s Degree in Failing but a PhD in getting back up after every one of my knock downs.

We all have these types of events in our life. They’re essentially inevitable. So, it’s how you perceive them that truly determines the outcome.

That’s the mindset I’ve been able to develop over my time and its one I’d urge you to consider adopting as well.

It wasn’t easy, but was I to let life’s events make me victim or was I going to show life that I’m going to be the victor through it all? I’m sure you know which of the two I chose.

Now, you can find me globe-trotting as I pursue my ultimate desires to provide opportunity through my business, 1B Branding, and make an impact through my top ranked podcast, Decoding Success, speaking around the country, and doing all I can to give back to those who are in need or deserve support.

In my spare time, I give the work on Call of Duty Warzone, get super competitive in pickup NYC basketball, bike up and down the West Side highway for fun, run an occasional race to remind myself I’m still athletic, and eat like there’s no tomorrow… definitely eat.. A LOT!

Say hi to me on Instagram, LinkedIn, Facebook or Twitter.

Looking forward to growing with you.
