Makers making, builders building, creators creating… a few shared words from our crew
It is a rare environment where real shifts happen... not just in what you do, but in how you think, create, and lead.
Joining this community has been like stepping into a think tank for my own potential. It’s the first space I’ve encountered that both honors your vision and simultaneously stretches it, challenging you to think bigger, act bolder, and refine your approach. That rare balance of respect and push is what truly moved the needle for me.

The right community will 10x any area of your life.. this one fulfills them all.
As a fractional COO running several brands and projects, having this community has helped me streamline where my energy and attention goes, which has also amplified my personal life, not just my professional.
Nadeem Al-Hasan
CEO of Somatic Release, Fractional COO, Creative
Matt has created more than a community, he’s built an ecosystem of depth, vision, and mutual uplift.
I’ve not only found strategic support for my professional goals, but unexpected friendship and resonance that’s impacted so many layers of my life. It’s a community I can run with for a long time.
Kari Ivanitsky
Designer, Co-Founder The Meredith Project
It's such a joy growing with a community of like-minded people, wanting to build their business and lives around their gifts and talents
We come from all different walks of life, and being able to share and learn from each other as well as cheer each other on has been a special experience.”

What makes this community one-of-a-kind is the genuine, authentic, intentional nature of the space you’ve built
I needed to surround myself with people working at a higher level of commitment, so that I would excel in my own gifts and skills. Working next to members who share a soul-driven passion for influence and impact is powerful.. We’re not just growing ourselves -we’re creating a ripple effect in our own communities.
Karen Loaiza-Wulff
3x Founder, Creative, Author, Speaker
It's one thing to find a community... there's lots of them online... it's another thing to find a community that balances individual pursuits with foundational practices.
Most communities and groups force frameworks and processes to fit what they've built. Matt created a group that helps individuals align with their clarity first and then build with processes and frameworks. In my opinion, this makes what each person does much more scalable and sustainable.

We cover...
A very integrated (& intersecting) range of topics that include… mindset, multi-disciplinary thinking, money, spirituality, the business of art & the art of business, modern marketing, creative ownership (owning what you create & building a life from it), intuition, trusting your process… and more.
Creative Entrepreneurship
01
Creator-Founder clarity
Get crystal clear on YOUR version of what you’re building... not just another iteration of what already exists, but the version your're called to and contribute to the world
Build your audience, not your pitch
Stop trying to fit into existing markets and start cultivating people who resonate with YOUR unique intersection of gifts... your audience finds you because of who you are, not what you’re selling
Trust your process over formulas
Your creative instincts and natural rhythms are your competitive advantage... learn to honor your way of creating and building rather than forcing yourself into someone else’s blueprint
Modern Wealth Building
02
Turning your skills into assets
How to monetize your creativity, knowledge, and experience without selling out your authenticity.
Leveraging modern tools with ease
Using AI, automation, and scalable systems to expand your impact without adding burnout.

Making the mission YOU
Personal development isn't about becoming someone else's version of successful... it's about becoming more fully aligned so you can serve the world in ways only you can

Discover how your purpose emerges when you stop fragmenting yourself and start honoring all dimensions of who you are... spiritually, creatively, and strategically
Community of Thinkers & Builders
04
The better path recognition
Connect with people who see there’s a more aligned way to do the things they actually want to be doing
