Matt wells makes no apologies. His comments DO reflect the views of management.

Matt also cares deeply about his family, as a dad and as husband.

In fact, this passion launched a brand: Basic Dad Stuff, where Matt shares everyday stories and snippets about fatherhood.

But that's not what makes Matt unique.

It's his confidence to stand by his beliefs, his ability to own his mantra, with no apologies, that sets him apart.

We dive into parenting, sales, social media and the struggles to keep it all in check.

Matt is the kinda guy you want in your corner as well as the guy you want coaching your kids.

Key Takeaways for Leaders and Entrepreneurs:

  1. Sometimes it's messy, but focus on the goal and clean up later.
  2. We learn every day.
  3. Passion sells. Matt has created a brand around passion and people WANT to buy from him.

Matt's Eating Crow Moments:

  1. Well, most of his Basic Dad episodes have some crow in them. Fatherhood is humbling.
  2. We will never be perfect. Matt shares that even though his Basic Dad Stuff episodes look hilarious and portray fun, he has to work on being a better husband and father.
  3. Sometimes, you have to say no. Matt launched a live improv series with two other LinkedIn rockstars, and it gained a following. However, it threw his work/life/hobbies out of balance and they had to shut it down. Tough decision, but sometimes crow isn't cooked properly and is difficult to get down.
