Both growing up in the same rural town of Mackay we knew what the stereotypical life looked like. However, Matty chose a path to further his study at university in sports science after growing up playing and loving sports.
Joining the campus "wolf pack" seamed like the perfect thing to do and Matty naturally became a leader in his cohort. Highlights ranged form dinner time conversations regularly lasting upwards of 2hours to sporting achievements and brother hoods he created while studying. Next was his move to Gold Coast, Queensland to start a cadetship with the Suns ALF club where you have to as a 21 year old, entering a masculine male environment "earn your stripes".
If having mentor for a life time, then suddenly knowing that that mentor only has a year or so left to live, you quickly find yourself in a spiral of unknown and unrest. Matts connections, friends groups and new mentors are what got him through this challenging and emotional period of his life. Transitioning him into a man with a passion for giving blokes a place where they can connect, conversate and socialise was where MINDPAK was founded.
A mens group based around those pillars - social connection and physical movement. Matty is proud to put on live events with guest speakers from all walks of life every 6 weeks. Creating a real backyard bbq vibe with the added and vital part of talking about your life. So sit back, listen and learn a thing or two from how many found his why, and let us know what you thought about the episode in the comments below.
Lets get you thinking
Firstly welcome to The Evocativ Project and thank you so much for joining us on this journey. In a world where all that is certain is uncertainty we find it more crucial than ever to provide a targeted point of view when it comes to navigating through life.
My name is Blake Bradford and Im sure you are with me when I talk about the importance of goal setting and striving to make a change in your life, I’m sure you are with me when I say I’ve been stuck and feeling as though I am not getting any closer to my goals.
Well what we have found is that when you spend a period of time searching for your WHY you are ultimately searching for your motivation, your confidence and your drive to never stop and never quit on your dreams and ambitions.
Today I am going to take you on a quick walk into finding my WHY and how it has helped me get to where I am today, living and breathing the life I longed for from the moment I wrote it down in 2019.
The Evocativ Project been many days in the making and there will be many great days post this first episode and I am beyond thrilled to have you in the passenger seat with me as we dive into The Evocativ Project and we get you thinking about your why and get you closer to achieving your goals.
