“Matt’s candour about his lived experience ensures everyone who he shares this with understands how every interaction they have with a homeless person really matters. His suggestions for how our libraries can support people experiencing homelessness are now non-negotiable for any library I manage.” – D. Summers, Manager – Customer & Library Services, City of Swan
“Listening to Matt talk about his life, challenges and how he became the person he is today was eye opening! I left the chat feeling motivated to make a change. It’s pretty easy to look at someone and make a snap judgement about them without knowing what they’ve gone through. Listening to how Matt has overcome challenges and adversity is his life has changed the way I look at people struggling with mental health issues. I highly recommend listening to this story! ” – Todd M.

“I’ve never been to a course before when so many staff were talking about it later. My perception was that the workshop had an impact on everyone and we all learnt something that should improve our customer interactions with not just homeless people but those with mental illness and even all customers. ” – Clive C.

“I have listened to Matt twice now and both times I have left feeling very motivated and inspired. His story has brought tears to my eyes and has completely changed my views on how I look at people, you have no idea why people are the way they are or what they are going through. Matt has showed great courage and dedication through out his life – despite what has been thrown his way, this is a story everyone needs to hear at least once.” – Melissa S.

“Matt has an amazing story and now has utilised that same story to launch his business. He does great work and helps two groups extremely well. Firstly, businesses that want to gain mental clarity on tough topics. He will ensure that the topic is covered in the right way, so that all those in attendance can understand the message and know how to implement the key points. For example, a gym that has trainers who want to help their clients through super obesity and be able to do so in the appropriate way whilst respecting their feelings and emotional needs. Secondly, individually, I have seen him directly help people get the most out of life through his one on one life coaching work If you want business support around, obesity, mental health, the struggles of life and much more speak to Matt today. To top it all off, he’s a great bloke!” – Shane M.
