Rise Up

Rise Up is Matt’s latest book. It is his personal quest to find an authentic way to show up as the best version of himself that is the catalyst for this book. Taking a departure from his usual writings, Matt opens up about some of the qualities and influences that sit behind his success and at the edge of what is acceptable rational thought.

Rise Up is a personal invitation to you to decide who you are as a leader and find a way to better lead the people you serve. One part leadership, one part motivation, and one part wisdom of the ages, this book will challenge your views and dare you to live and lead from the heart.

Written as a series of short leadership primers, you can study them in a straight line or pick and choose at will. However you choose, read with the willingness to consider all possibilities. Then see where it takes you.

If I never hear the words ‘your microphone is muted’ or ‘new normal’ ever again I'll be very happy.
