The photo that changed everything
In 2009 I was unhappy with just about every major area of my life. I was fresh out of a long-term relationship, overweight, out of shape, flat broke, in a dead-end job and getting wasted every day. I had become a statistic.
The truth is, I was ashamed of who I had let myself become.
Then I saw a picture of myself and thought, “Oh my God, who is that?” In my mind I was an athlete and a leader. That was not the person in the photo.
I quit my job, went back to school, got clean and started training and eating better. I graduated from the University of Calgary in 2010, became a personal trainer and then a certified life coach in 2014. I was voted Best Personal Trainer in Saskatoon in 2019.
Along the way I learned the most important lesson of my life: your results will never outgrow your mindset. The habits, the confidence and the income all follow the way you think about yourself.
What I do now
I help high-achieving but stuck professionals break the cycle of procrastination, self-doubt, overthinking and inconsistent results. My approach blends psychology and neuroscience with practical performance strategy. We work on your mindset, behaviour and identity so the changes actually last.
My mission is simple: change how people think so they can change how they live, lead and earn.

What clients say about working with Matt
“If you're looking for real change, Matt is the guy. I knew I needed to make shifts in my life to get where I wanted to go, but I was stuck. I'm way more productive at work, my relationships with my family are stronger, and I'm much healthier overall. Worth every single penny and more.”
Tyler MacneilMortgage Broker“I've already rerouted my business to operate more independently of me, increased profitability, and unlocked what feels like a sea of new opportunities.”
Kailee TemplemanEntrepreneur“He's helped me see things differently, overcome self-doubt, and feel more confident in both my personal and professional life. I'd recommend him to anyone who wants to grow and feel unstuck.”
