Matt shares his incredible journey from corporate controller to leading a 100% employee-owned company, and the powerful daily disciplines that keep him grounded. We dig into his early-morning routines, the “no exceptions” mindset that drives his success, and the importance of servant leadership—both in business and life.

Matt also opens up about bold faith in the workplace, the missions work that’s close to his heart, and the kind of legacy he’s committed to leaving for his team and his family. You’ll walk away from this conversation inspired to step up, lead with integrity, and live with purpose every single day.
