1. HI MATT TELL ME HOW YOU GOT STARTED?
When I was younger I was an actor and I was lucky enough to get roles in ITV1’s ‘Heartbeat’, ‘The Royal’ and three-part drama, written by Sally Wainwright called ‘Unforgiven’. Then when I was 19, I set up my first business called Tribute Acts Management and that has now grown to manage and represent 500 acts. I have also toured Europe in my Take That Tribute Band called Rule The World and we have been featured on the Graham Norton show with the real Take That. Gary Barlow called us brilliant, which is quite a big compliment and we were massively taken aback by it! In recent years, I have gone on to become a mindset and business coach, break a Guinness world record and even compete in a bodybuilding competition. My biggest passion now is my podcast ‘Success School’ where I am
focused on making a real positive impact to help as many people as possible to live happier, healthier and more fulfilled lives.
2. WHAT WAS THE DRIVING FORCE BEHIND WHERE YOU ARE NOW?
As a kid, I was always very ambitious and when I got to age 27 I found myself totally burnt out from years of pushing myself and I started questioning the “hustle culture” we’ve all become so exposed to online. I then went on a real journey of self-development with a focus on trying to figure out what truly makes us happy and fulfilled people. Once I started to make some great changes in my life, it became a real passion to help other people do the same.
3. WHAT IS YOUR BEST ACHIEVEMENT SO FAR?
I’m very proud of all the achievements that I have accomplished over the years, including the Guinness world record, Brit finalist bodybuilding invite, and of course the TV opportunities I’ve taken. But I would honestly say my best achievement is learning to truly be happy with who I am, put myself out there publicly as my authentic self and have the courage to push myself to truly make a difference in other people’s lives. There’s nothing more fulfilling than knowing that you have genuinely helped somebody who was struggling.
4. HOW DO YOU START YOUR DAY? / WHAT DOES A TYPICAL DAY LOOK LIKE FOR MH?
I generally like to start the day by getting outside into fresh air, putting on a motivational podcast and getting my steps ticked off. I think it’s really important to set your mental and emotional state for the day and not just be led by emotion and on autopilot.
