Welcome! My name is Matt.

I did everything I was supposed to do. I got good grades, went to college, and got a good job. Deep into the journey I discovered that, while sufficient, the traditional path does not set us up for a truly spectacular life.

If you’re watching the clock, putting in the time, reaching for some milestone hoping to one day finally enjoy your life, I’m here to inspire you to START LIVING AN EPIC LIFE NOW.

Inside this site is everything they never told you.

DESIGN your life for happiness. The hard courage will be well worth it, I promise.

Enjoy the ride, I’ll see you out there.

-Matt
