We are no stranger to the rags-to-riches story on Off The Record. The triumphant tale, the “started at the bottom, now we’re here” epic—in other words, a journey of ups and downs that eventually lands in a place much more sound than where it started. But sometimes, you hear one of these stories that just sticks out and forces you to re-examine the road that got you to the moment you find yourself in today. That’s the case with Matthew Emerzian’s story. He seemingly had everything: A great job in the music industry, a booming social life in Los Angeles, and was quite literally keeping up with the Kardashians. Then, one morning, as he got out of bed, he realized something was immediately wrong. He thought he was having a heart attack, but a trip to the doctors office diagnosed him with clinical depression. He realized he had to make meaningful change in his life, and he began to look beyond himself to create a more meaningful existence. This led to the founding of a non-profit organization Every Monday Matters that helps people and organizations understand why they matter. We all matter, it’s just a matter of recognizing why.

Matthew Emerzian is an author, keynote speaker, and the founder and CEO of Every Monday Matters, a non-profit organization committed to helping others understand their value and purpose. His work has been featured in Fast Company, Oprah.com, The Today Show, and the Hallmark Channel. He joins Marcel Schwantes to share a powerful and timely message about why we all matter. Marcel asks Matthew what he hopes comes as a result of current events. Matthew responds: that we continue to operate on our “human spirit” even after the coronavirus is gone. [4:30] Live a life that’s not about you. Matthew talks about the life motto given to him by his therapist that completely changed his world view. He shares how doing community service every Saturday morning helped him redefine what mattered to him. [11:48] Matthew’s book, Every Monday Matters, was used as part of a restorative justice program for convicted felons. After speaking to a group of them at a prison, one man tearfully commented that not being told he mattered was what got him into his position. [18:19] Marcel shares that Every Monday Matters the book is broken down into three sections: I Matter, You Matter, and We Matter. He asks Matthew to explain how they interconnect. Matthew describes it as a Venn Diagram with three circles, where each circle represents one section of the book and they all share an intersection. [21:38] People should be themselves authentically and unapologetically. They should not put filters on their lives like they do to social media posts in an attempt to reach perfection, because every individual is already uniquely perfect. [23:52] The silver lining in the current pandemic is that people are being forced to be their true selves; the masks are being torn off because we are all in a mutual state of suffering. [26:19] Some argue that doing selfless things is selfish because it only makes you feel good about yourself. If being selfless is actually being selfish, then we should create a selfish world, Matthew jokes. [31:22] We are wired to serve others. A life of service fulfills you in ways that material success cannot, and you find a sense of inner peace when you dedicate yourself to it. [34:39] Marcel asks Matthew how we can emerge from the global pandemic as better people. Before the coronavirus hit, we were suffering from a human virus of unkindness, Matthew says. We were not treating each other with compassion. When the virus goes away, in order to emerge as better people we must continue to embrace our humanity as we are doing currently. [36:21] Matthew believes that to create a world where everyone is aware of why and how much they matter, education must start with the youth. Every Monday Matters has a social and emotional learning program in six countries that has reached two million students worldwide. They are also providing free lessons and live classes on Zoom due to the pandemic. [38:38] Every day we wake up, we can make a choice to be someone who gives to the world, or someone who takes from it. [44:16] I matter, you matter, we matter. Marcel asks Matthew to explain how everybody matters. I Matter involves coming to terms with your own worth in all your imperfections and uniqueness. You Matter involves expanding your awareness to acknowledge and celebrate the value of those around you.

Every Monday Matters programs go beyond the individual level. The organization offers no-cost K-12 Curriculum for engaging today’s youth in topics and activities that build self- and social-responsibility, awareness, and engagement.

Matthew Emerzian is founder and chief inspiration officer of Every Monday Matters, a not-for-profit organization committed to helping people and organizations understand how much and why they matter. Inspired by his book by the same name, EMM’s programs have been utilized by over 60,000 employees in America’s largest corporations and 1.4 million students in 49 states and seven countries. His work has been hailed by publications such as Fast Company, The Huffington Post, and Oprah.com.

Matthew Emerzian is a speaker, author, and Founder of the not-for-profit organization Every Monday Matters. Matthew created the concept behind Every Monday Matters over ten years ago when he himself was struggling with depression and anxiety. He was unhappy with his job in the music industry and the overall quality of his life and took some time to reflect. During this time, Matthew worked to rekindle his happiness and positively impact the lives of those around him and, in doing so, recognized the power Mondays have in setting the tone for the rest of the week. Matthew's published his first book in 2008 under the same title and it was soon after adopted as an employee engagement program that has reached over 60,000 employees and a student curriculum taught to over 1.4 million students across the country. Now, with his new book, corporate leaders, overworked adults, senior citizens, and even young students are taught the same message -- you matter -- and Matthew's book and program help them understand why. Matthew's new book, https://www.amazon.com/Every-Monday-Matters-Passion-Positivity/dp/1492675288/ref=sr_1_1?keywords=Every+Monday+Matters%3A+How+to+Kick+Your+Week+Off+with+Passion+Purpose+and+Positivity&qid=1571275549&sr=8-1 ("Every Monday Matters: How to Kick Your Week Off with Passion Purpose and Positivity"), takes readers on a 52-week journey with actionable steps to reconnect what really matters, redefine their purpose, and learn to create a larger impact. The book is broken down into thirteen themed chapters, offering readers mindful moments to process and opportunities to engage each month. His mission is to grow and scale companies by creating a movement. He is an Apple and Aiesec Alumnus. He is also a resident teacher at Ninja Marketing, the biggest online marketing school in Italy, where he teaches on how to launch products and sell them online. He is passionate about leadership, personal growth, entrepreneurship and, obviously, Italian food.   In today’s Words2Success (W2S) show, Juan Grey interviews Matthew Emerzian on:   Let's go over your https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xAcHp0WBbBQ&feature=youtu.be (TEDx Talk)...

"I. YOU. WE. MATTER." To the outside world, Matt Emerzian was living the “American Dream”. He was a gifted athlete, successful in the entertainment industry, hung out with famous people, and was living the “Hollywood lifestyle”. Until one Monday morning when it fell apart and his life changed forever. The author of Every Monday Matters, Matt tells his story of brokenness and the long process of rebuilding his spirit. He now shares his story and experiences around the country, speaking to people about depression, anxiety, and feeling unworthy, unappreciated, and unloved.    Join me and Matt as we talk about his journey back from the dark years to finding a calming and grounded existence. SHOW NOTES: Matt realized his “ladder was leaning against the wrong wall” and thought about taking his life because he felt he didn’t really matter. Get Matt's book, Every Monday Matters which offers 52 ideas for doing something positive. One of his father's favorite sayings is, “good for goodness’s sake” and it is now the motto Matt lives by. He grew up playing competitive soccer and even got to play in Germany until he blew out his knee. After that, he picked up water polo and was eventually recruited by UCLA. After graduation, he became a band manager in LA. He was having the time of his life. He met and ended up getting hired on the spot by Robert Kardashian. Robert owned one of the largest music marketing companies in LA. His definition of success was cliché: be rich, hang out with famous people, be single, etc. Matt "had it all" One Monday morning, getting ready for work, his chest started hurting and thought he was going to have a heart attack. A doctor visit confirmed he was having a very severe panic attack.  “It’s not about you!” His therapist shared this with him and he credits this saying with saving his life. Matt’s therapist helped him overcome his panic attacks and unhappiness – and self-acknowledge selfish lifestyle – by spending time each week volunteering. It changed his life and became his favorite part of the week. He created a youth curriculum for educators focused on the principles of: “I matter. You matter. We matter.”  MATTHEW EMERZIAN'S LIVE INSPIRED 7 1. What is the best book you’ve ever read? Man's Search for Meaning, that book just speaks to me. A Purpose Driven Life, the first line of the book was profound to me. Where the Red Fern Grows, it is a story of love, compassion, and heartbreak. It made me feel deeper than I ever imagined before. 2. Tomorrow you discover your wealthy uncle shockingly dies at the age of 103; leaving you millions. What would you do with it? My wife and I would love to own our first home together. Then it would be how can I put those dollars to use to have an impact on communities and people. Along the line of the work I currently do. It would be invested in social good. 3. Your house is on fire, all living things and people are out. You have the opportunity to run in and grab one item. What would it be? My wife’s childhood blanket. It was a gift from her father. 4. You are sitting on a bench overlooking a gorgeous beach. You have the opportunity to have a long conversation with anyone living or dead. Who would it be? Jesus and Bono. I see us talking about where it all went wrong and how we can change it. By "it" I mean humanity & our culture. I think Jesus would say, it is time for us to love our neighbors more. 5. What is the best advice you’ve ever received? Listen first. I really try to be a good listener and be super present. To learn, yet also to honor whoever I’m talking to. 6. Looking back, what advice would you give yourself at age 20? The road might get bumpy, but have faith. It is OK if your story doesn’t turn out exactly like you thought it would. 7. It’s been said that all great people can have their lives summed up in one sentence.

Where does self love start, how to establish it and how do we carry it seamlessly into adulthood while school is happening.

Matthew Emerzian, together with Kelly Bozza, co-authored the book Every Monday Matters (EMM), which maintains that it is the ordinary individual, acting alone or together with others, who can change the world. The book struck a chord in readers, launched a company and sparked a veritable grassroots movement that is currently empowering people to make the most of their moments and their lives.

Every Monday Matters goal is to change the image of Mondays by making them mean something AMAZING, something INCREDIBLE, something UNBELIEVABLE.
