EP #295 - This week on the podcast we are answering your questions! Yes, that’s right, real entrepreneurs like you are asking Matt real questions about life and business, and he is answering them on the air!

The show format for this season is “Monday’s With Matt” and a new show will drop each and every Monday with a new relevant question being discussed, coached on, and answered.

This week, our question comes from Katrina Nguyen. This entrepreneur asks: “I want to speak more, and you teach how to use speaking to grow your business. But if the goal of me speaking is to promote my book and encourage selflessness, is it necessary to offer strategy sessions? Other than selling my book, I don’t have a goal of increasing business revenue or growing the number of clients. ?”

EP #312 -This week on the podcast, I'm joined by Joy Cooper, Keynote Speaker, Resiliency Expert, Lone Plane Crash Survivor as we discuss Resilience Lessons From A Lone Plane Crash Survivor - Don't Miss This One!
She is a number one best-selling author, operations manager for United Airlines with a master’s in aeronautics, and a pilot. Her story was featured on CBS TV, and she has been interviewed on top rated podcasts.
Joy shares her experience as the lone survivor of a fatal plane crash. When others told her she would never walk again, she proved that she would do more than that: she would dance again. 
The plane crash broke every extremity, threatening to destroy everything she had worked for.
Joy’s journey brought her through paralysis, multiple surgeries, and accident investigations. For her, mediocrity is synonymous with failure, and limits are something to be redefined and conquered.

Resiliency Lessons From A Lone Plane Crash Survivor - Don’t Miss This One!

EP #311 -This week on the podcast, I’m joined by Jay Davis, Owner at stairslide, Founder/CEO at Pillow Cube, and Founder of Creatably as we discuss Finding Your Entrepreneur Sweet Spot!

Jay Davis was born at a very young age in Utah. When he was 3 years old, his family made the decision to move to Chicago, then eventually found his way to Highlands Ranch, Colorado. After some more growing up, Jay graduated from BYU with a BS in Business Management and Entrepreneurship in 2008. Jay’s first job after BYU was managing business and product development for Vivint. But Jay knew something else held his heart: marketing.

Soon, Jay started creating viral videos for clients like it was his job, because it was. Jay’s online videos for Color Run got more than 8 million views across YouTube and Facebook. In 2012, he and Scott Winn created a YouTube channel that combined stunning visual experiences with original music and comedic situations. Their first 5 videos gained over 25 million views in less than 7 months.

As much as Jay loved viral videos, he knew he could do more. So, in 2017, Jay founded the advertising agency, Creatably, which is all about driving sales and increasing brand awareness. You may have seen their work with such brands as Manly Bands, Gabb Wireless, Homie, Owlet, and more. They’re kind of a big deal.

But again, Jay wanted to do more … and sleep more. So, he launched his own product, Pillow Cube, to billions of tired side sleepers around the world. Then Jay snagged the opportunity to improve the indoor slide experience and bought StairSlide. And clearly people liked what he was selling, because both brands experienced high 7-figure revenue in the first year.

Currently, Jay’s chillin’. Not really. He’s still building new companies, investing in startups, and hanging out with his family.

EP #310 -This week on the podcast, I’m joined by Kari Anderson, a CrossFit trainer, Spanish teacher, real estate agent as we discuss Nothing Can Stop Your Dreams!

She has lived through, first-hand the ravages of anxiety and depression in two of her four children and is passionate about helping others navigate these difficult spaces. She has trained organizations such as Marriott, Ritz Carlton and Keller Williams.

She is now a recognized expert on conquering anxiety, stress and depression. She has worked with hundreds of clients, adults and children and teens to help them quit wasting energy on anxiety and overwhelm so they can have peace and feel more in control. She does this work privately and in groups at her yoga and meditation studio, she speaks at conferences and runs transformational retreats where she gets to do the work she loves one on one.

Kari helps people go from panic attacks, not sleeping and chronic pain, to living lighter, sleeping better and feeling free. Kari makes her home in Ogden, Utah, where she lives with her husband Russ, her youngest son Dylan, and their Goldendoodle Marlie.

EP #309 -This week on the podcast, I’m joined by Dr. Laleh Talebian, a cancer research scientist, nutrition specialist, podcaster, author, and professional bodybuilder as we discuss Prioritizing YOU!

You may have caught her on TV or seen her featured in Health Watch Magazine. As a research scientist with more than two decades of experience, she earned her Ph.D. in Molecular Biology of Cancer from Dartmouth Medical School in 2005. Her research has been published in ten major peer-reviewed scientific journals.

She founded her customized-health consulting business in 2010 and has served more than 700 clients and patients. Her patients and clients include people with various types of cancer, Olympic athletes, doctors, oncologists, body builders, and other athletes, moms, dads, youth/ teens, as well as couch potatoes.

She has guided her patients to lose over 100 pounds, go from unsolvable chronic pain to living pain free, and to leave death’s doorstep to thrive under her care. 

When she’s not transforming lives, you might find her on her road bike in Vermont where she lives with her partner Eric and her cat Bowie.
