Matt is a high-energy Certified EOS Implementer®, and entrepreneurial owner on his fourth through sixth businesses. He is passionate about his Core Focus: make every day better by making work suck less. His goal is to affect 1,000,000 leaders, that go on to grow other leaders. He does this with the Entrepreneurial Operating System (EOS) — a complete system of simple tools with proven results and his Launching Leaders® program.
Matt started his entrepreneurial career at age seven, selling day-old potato chips and fresh meats at a flea market on Chicago’s south side. After graduating from a maritime college and sailing the world as both a U.S. Navy Officer and a civilian Merchant Mariner, Matt spent 30+ years in the high-risk maritime industry, honing his rapid decision-making skills in emergency and critical situations. He retired from 24 years of Navy Reserve duty that included command of two different units, and a recall to active duty as the Interim Port Director, Haiti after their devastating earthquake. Matt led diverse commercial teams around the globe (Egypt, Shanghai, and the Middle East) and has led his own businesses; currently he is running businesses four through six.
Now, as a reformed workaholic, Matt’s passion is re-focused on helping fellow business owners reclaim their time, while improving profits and strengthening their businesses. His newest venture – Launching Leaders® — is a passion project to make every day better by making work amazing for everyone!
