Mind blowing , real, raw, honest , vulnerable content LOVE IT and you will too!
I came across Matt’s content as he was a guest speaker to one of my favorite persons and career coach Niki Woodwall. I was immediately drawn to his story, identified with his struggles and found it captivating, motivational and most importantly honest and vulnerable. I saw myself as he described his struggles in corporate America trying to climb the corporate ladder. But it also gave me hope and excitement that there is light at the end of the rat race. I knew deep within myself that this can not be it, working endless hours while been miserable at work, the constant search of the dream job while been exhausted. I can’t get get enough of all Matt’s stories. I just love it, thank you for sharing your stories with the world, we need it. A thankful listener, Janeire.

Great Show
I recommend this show to people who feel stuck in their careers. Matt’s story and advice really strike a chord. Makes me want to take serious action.
I love how brutally honest Matt is. He gives you straight talk about how sleepy most workers are today and he highlights the massive opportunity costs of inaction. The “own your 9-5” message is badly needed. Great show!

A refreshing perspective on work-life!
Matt brings great insights and guests to the table. I love the emphasis on betting on yourself, rather than following old school career paths. Makes you think about having a wider impact on the world too.

Own your career and life
Great listen, Matt! I’m enjoying the idea that we each need to define our OWN version of freedom. It’s liberating, but a little daunting. Fortunately, you also give frameworks and examples on how to create more freedom in your life — which I can apply, so this isn’t just theory. It works.

Love the show, thanks Matt!
This show isn’t about either climbing the ladder or escaping corporate. It shows regular people (somewhere in the middle) can make their job fit their personal needs. And I love the side hustle angle!

I love the metaphor of a cage to describe this situation. I have often felt imprisoned by my corporate job, but what I have come to realize is that I created it myself. I need to change my mindset and this will help me achieve freedom. Thank you for sharing this with the world Matt because this is exactly what people need to do!

Refreshing
In a high-strung world that’s all about chasing the next dollar, this podcast has given me calm and a new perspective. I like how I can apply these strategies and make little changes in my own approach. Listening to this on the way to work makes me feel a little bit more motivated and gets my mind running about alternative ways things could be done.

Especially Relevant Material
Having gotten to know Matthew via his weekly Wednesday Wisdom email, I was looking forward to the podcast. It doesn’t disappoint! For anyone in the corporate workplace trying to figure out their purpose and how they can become a better leader, you’ve come to the right place! Doan does a great job of bringing sometimes complex topics down to a consumable level that allows the info to really soak in and become habits worth forming.
