WHY NOT MAT (and Why That's Okay) . . .

In the spirit of full transparency, Mat believes great partnerships start with clarity and honesty.
He’s the right speaker for many events, and not the perfect fit for others.


Here’s when he may not be the best match for your stage:

- Your theme doesn’t align with Mat’s message of conscious leadership, personal responsibility, and human transformation.

- You’re seeking a celebrity or legacy speaker with decades on the international circuit and a six-figure fee structure.

- You need a purely technical, academic, or data-heavy presentation. Mat’s work is experiential and story-driven, designed to engage hearts and minds, not spreadsheets.

- Your audience isn’t open to personal reflection. Mat’s sessions invite people to look inward as much as outward, blending logic with emotional intelligence and self-awareness.

- You prefer a “surface-level motivational talk.” Mat goes deeper, blending inspiration with integration, so the message becomes lived, not just heard.

And that’s perfectly okay.

Because Mat’s mission isn’t to speak at every event, it’s to ignite transformation where it’s most needed and most ready. If your event shares that intention, then you’re already aligned, and together, we’ll co-create an experience that your audience will never forget.

Mat doesn’t just deliver a keynote. He partners with you to deliver lasting impact. If that’s what your audience deserves, let’s talk.
