Podcast appearances and mentions of mitch matthews

What happens when you wake up one day and realize you've spent years helping build everyone else's dream… but quietly lost yourself in the process? This week, Mitch Matthews sits down with entrepreneur, designer, craftsman, and Imperfects founder, Mike Lynch... for a deeply honest conversation about burnout, creativity, entrepreneurship, identity, and what it really means to build something meaningful. Before launching Imperfects, Mike spent years building brands through his successful agency work. On paper, everything looked great. The business was growing. The clients were excited. The opportunities were there. But internally? He was exhausted. As Mike puts it, he realized he was "burnt out building everyone else's dreams." That realization eventually led him back to something unexpected: shaping surfboards by hand. Not because it made financial sense. Not because he had a master plan. But because it helped him reconnect with creativity, craftsmanship, presence, and himself. What started as a personal creative outlet slowly evolved into Imperfects—a fashion and lifestyle brand built around the belief that "the human experience is imperfect." And ironically, that acceptance of imperfection became the thing that unlocked more freedom, authenticity, meaning, and excellence in Mike's life and work. This conversation is for the entrepreneur, creator, leader, or dreamer who's achieved success… but still feels disconnected, burned out, rushed, or hungry for work that actually feels like them.

What if you could actually train your brain to perform better… no matter your age, background, or current memory struggles? This week, Mitch Matthews sits down with 6-time USA Memory Champion, world-record holder, speaker, and bestselling author for a fascinating (and wildly practical) conversation on how to train your brain for peak performance. And here's the surprising part: Nelson says he wasn't born with a "super brain." In fact, he considered himself completely average growing up. Everything changed when Nelson watched his grandmother battle Alzheimer's disease. That painful experience sparked a deep curiosity about memory, brain health, and cognitive performance - and ultimately launched him into the world of elite memory competitions. Today, he helps people all over the world improve their focus, sharpen their memory, remember names, and unlock more of their mental potential. In this powerful conversation, Nelson breaks down the simple (but surprisingly effective) strategies anyone can use to train your brain, improve memory, and strengthen mental performance in the age of AI and endless distraction. This episode is packed with practical tools, fascinating stories, and hope-filled reminders that your brain is far more adaptable and trainable than you might think. And honestly? The timing for this conversation couldn't be better. Read the full show notes: https://mitchmatthews.com/454

What if the life you want isn't on the other side of a risky leap — but quietly waiting for you to build it, step by step, right where you are? In this powerful episode, Mitch Matthews shares a refreshingly practical roadmap for turning untapped expertise into real impact — and real income — without burning down your current career. From hustling for his first dream job at 13 to building a thriving coaching and speaking business, Mitch reveals how small, strategic actions can unlock massive transformation over time. Together, we unpack the myth of the “all-or-nothing” entrepreneurial leap and replace it with something far more sustainable: a repeatable system for building authority, income, and fulfillment on your own terms. You'll learn why most professionals aren't burnt out — but bored out, how just 15 minutes a day can reignite purpose and momentum, and why your “everyday knowledge” might be your most valuable (and overlooked) asset. We also dive deep into the psychology of decision-making, the role of negotiation in shaping your career path, and the hidden leverage of building something on the side — even before it generates revenue. Mitch introduces his “Authority Bridge” framework, a step-by-step approach that helps professionals grow a side mission into a meaningful income stream — sometimes even opening unexpected doors within their current roles. Whether you're craving more impact, more income, or simply more meaning in your work, this conversation will challenge how you think about risk, growth, and what's truly possible. In this episode, you'll discover: Why “steps of faith” beat blind leaps every time The difference between burnout and boredom — and how to fix both How to turn your existing skills into a profitable side venture The simple “sequence” most people miss when trying to monetize their expertise How building authority on the side can strengthen — not threaten — your current career This isn't about escaping your life. It's about expanding it — with intention, clarity, and confidence. FREE WORKSHOP:Listeners can find it at: //www.mitchmatthews.com/time.

If you've ever wondered whether you missed your moment or if it's too late to begin again, this conversation will meet you right where you are.  Mitch Matthews, a high performance coach, reframes midlife not as a closing chapter, but as a powerful starting point—one where your life experience becomes the very foundation for what's next. Blending practical strategy, neuroscience, and faith-centered encouragement, he invites you to see reinvention as something accessible, not overwhelming.  In this episode, we explore how curiosity and novelty can reignite passion, why giving yourself permission to start small builds real momentum, and how to quiet imposter syndrome by developing authentic, grounded confidence. You'll hear about practical tools to help you recognize your unique gifts and begin aligning your work and calling with who you truly are. Rooted in both mindset and faith, this conversation also speaks to the deeper tension many feel between contentment and the desire to dream bigger. Mitch shares how biblical truth affirms your value and calling, while also addressing the real relational ripple effects that can come when you pursue a new path.  This episode is an invitation to honor where you've been, embrace who you are, and step into your next chapter with clarity, confidence, and purpose.

Define Success or Chase It Forever   Success feels endless until you define it. In this episode, Rocky sits down with Mitch Matthews, success coach and creator of the top 1% podcast Dream Think Do, to explore why high-achieving leaders and entrepreneurs struggle to articulate their dreams and how to build a business that actually fulfills you. Mitch shares the unlikely lessons from his 13-year-old self working at a bike shop in Iowa to his current work with organizations like Nike, NASA, and Disney. If you've hit your revenue goals but still feel empty, this conversation is for you.    Learning Insights  Success Is Closer Than You Think (But You Have to Define It). Most entrepreneurs are three feet from gold without realizing it. Define what success means to you in this current season and watch how quickly it becomes achievable.  Your Business Sequence Matters More Than Your Dream. Every successful business has a clear sequence that moves people from awareness to trust to investment. Most entrepreneurs can't articulate theirs, which is why they struggle to attract consistent clients.  Be Interested, Not Interesting. Stop trying to impress people with expertise. Start genuinely asking questions and listening. Curiosity creates connection far better than charisma ever will.  Permission Is a Self-Imposed Barrier. You don't need your boss, family, or industry to give you permission to pursue your next chapter. You just need to give it to yourself and start.  Dreams Are Season-Specific, Not Life-Long Absolutes. Just because you have a dream doesn't mean now is the right season. You can acknowledge it, prepare strategically, and wait for the right moment without guilt.    Why This Conversation Matters  This conversation matters because the majority of business owners operate from a default definition of success they never chose. They're chasing numbers inherited from their environment rather than defined by themselves. The most fulfilled entrepreneurs paused to ask: What does success actually look like for me right now? Understanding your sequence and building permission into your own narrative removes the shame from uncertainty while making your direction crystal clear.    Money Learning  Mitch's first job at 13 taught him that work equals income, and income equals freedom and choice. Later, when building his coaching business during the "sitcom life" (single income, two children, oppressive mortgage), he couldn't quit his day job. Instead, financial constraints forced him to be strategic about his sequence and message, allowing him to build a six-figure business in just five months on the side.    Key Takeaway  Define what success means to you in this season before you spend another year chasing it. Build a clear sequence that guides people from awareness to investment. Finally, give yourself permission to start your next chapter without waiting for external validation. Most entrepreneurs are closer to their goals than they realize—they just haven't named them yet.    About Mitch Matthews   Mitch Matthews is a success coach, speaker, and creator of the top 1% podcast DREAM THINK DO  where he helps high-achieving leaders and entrepreneurs dream bigger, think better, and do more of what they were put on the planet to do.   He's worked with organizations like Nike, NASA, and Disney, and he's the creator of The Authority Bridge™  a proven process that helps professionals turn their experience into a coaching and speaking business they love.    Links  Website: www.MitchMatthews.com   www.MitchMatthews.com/time   Coupon Code: richersoul  Podcast: DREAM THINK DO: https://mitchmatthews.com/blog/     To join thousands who receive Mitch's weekly "4 Things" email… you can go to: MitchMatthews.com/4things     "Discover 44 Proven Ways to Find Your First Life Coaching Clients (And Keep Them Coming!)"

Making Time for Your Next Chapter — mitchmatthews.com/time (free with code H2LEADERSHIP) In this episode, Alan Briggs sits down with Mitch Matthews — coach, speaker, and host of the Dream Think Do podcast — for a conversation that feels less like an interview and more like two coaches getting honest with each other over coffee. Mitch is the CEO of a training organization focused on helping executives, entrepreneurs, and founders define what success actually means to them — and then build a plan to go after it. What unfolds is a wide-ranging, practical, and genuinely fun dialogue about dreams, the questions that unlock them, the questions that shut people down, and what it looks like to lead well in a moment of historic change. If you've ever locked up when someone asked you what your big dream is — or if you've watched someone else lock up when you asked them — this episode is going to reframe how you think about that conversation entirely. What You'll Learn in This Episode: Mitch's origin story — from a 12-year-old loitering at a bike shop in Iowa to discovering his life's calling at a Schwinn Selling School at 14 Why Mitch calls his work "success coaching" instead of life or executive coaching — and why that distinction matters The Dream Think Do framework — why dreaming has to come before thinking, and why most people start strategizing too early Why the question "what's your big dream?" actually shuts people down — and the better questions to ask instead The power of the word "might" — and how one small word change opens up possibilities that pressure closes off What semantic interference is and why it matters for every leader, coach, mentor, and manager in the room The story of the first Big Dream Gathering — how a product nightmare in 2006 became a movement now happening on college campuses and corporate retreats across the country Why dreams have seasons — and how to tell the difference between a dream that isn't right and a dream that just isn't right yet How the best leaders are navigating AI — standing in the tension of what's scary and what's possible at the same time Why AI is actually making people hunger for real human connection — and what that means for coaches and leaders Alan and Mitch coach each other live on the question "what do you want?" — and what makes a great clarifying question great Reflection Questions: What's something you want to experience more often — and what would it take to give yourself permission to pursue it? Are you dreaming before you think, or are you jumping straight to strategy before you've given yourself enough space to imagine? Where in your leadership are you standing in the tension between what's scary and what's possible?

Send us a textFeeling successful on paper but disconnected from your work at mid-career? You are not alone. In this episode, I sit down with Mitch Matthews, success coach and host of the Dream Think Do podcast, to unpack what real career change looks like when you stop waiting for permission and start creating it yourself.We talk candidly about that moment when you are busy, accomplished, and respected, yet no longer energized by the work you are doing. Mitch shares a powerful personal story about accepting a promotion that looked perfect on paper but felt wrong almost immediately. Instead of making a reckless leap, he honored his responsibilities while quietly building a new path through small, intentional experiments.This conversation is especially relevant if you are a mid-career professional seeking greater career clarity, questioning what is next, or feeling stuck in a job that no longer fits. We explore how progress does not require a dramatic exit or a master plan. It requires permission, curiosity, and consistent action.In this episode, you will learn:Why permission at mid-career is an internal decision, not something granted by a boss or organizationHow small, low-risk experiments can help you test new career directions without blowing up your current roleThe 15-minute rule and how five short blocks a week can compound into more than 60 hours of focused progress each yearWhy the safest place to explore new ideas is often outside the high-stakes environment of your day jobWhat it looks like to lead without having all the answers and why saying “I don't know, let's figure it out together” builds trustHow to use AI as a practical thinking partner instead of a buzzword or replacement for judgmentWhy automation is increasing the value of authenticity, clarity, and human leadershipHow to spot perfectionism when it is disguising itself as procrastinationWhy starting small and messy creates more durable career change than waiting for the perfect planMitch is also sharing his free training, Finding Time for Your Next Chapter, designed to help you carve out focused time for what matters most in this stage of your career.Access it at mitchmathews.com/time and use coupon code GPS for free access.Connect with Mitch MatthewsWebsite | LinkedIn | Support the showVisit https://johnneral.com/resources to: Subscribe to my free leadership and career newsletter Get The Mid-Career Clarity Code to help you figure out whatever is next for you and your career Please leave a rating and review on Apple Podcasts here.

If you've ever felt trapped in a “bad fit” job, unsure how to pivot toward your true calling, this episode of Stuck In My Mind Podcast is the spark you need. Host Wize El Jefe welcomes coach, speaker, and podcast host Mitch Matthews—a man who's dedicated his career to helping people dream bigger and build businesses with impact and purpose. Mitch's story starts in small-town Iowa, sweeping floors at a bike shop at age 12. His “extreme interest” in bicycles unintentionally unlocked an even deeper fascination—the world of entrepreneurship. Through hands-on learning and mentorship, he saw firsthand how following your passions could create something meaningful. Little did he know that these formative years would lay the groundwork for launching his own six-figure business helping others pursue their dreams. Wize guides the conversation to pivotal moments, like Mitch's climb up the corporate ladder in pharmaceutical sales, culminating in running sales training for a $2 billion company. But “success” wasn't enough—the next promotion led to what Mitch candidly calls “the bad fit ceiling.” Despite living the so-called dream (good income, mortgage, family), his soul-crushing job became a wake-up call. The fear of leaving stability for entrepreneurship was real, especially coming from a family of non-entrepreneurs. Mitch shares how he navigated this fear—not with a blind leap, but by calculating a “leap number,” a strategy he now teaches to others, granting permission to build side businesses without jeopardizing financial security. What unfolds is a masterclass in real-life entrepreneurship. Mitch and Wize dig deep into the mistakes, false starts, and lessons learned while launching coaching and speaking careers. Mitch's first misstep: believing big-name certifications would guarantee clients. He soon realized that competence mattered more than prestigious titles, and that most coach trainings gloss over the crucial topic of building a business. Research shows less than 15% of such programs cover the business side, leaving many new coaches floundering. That gap inspired Mitch's own business: he helps coaches and speakers not just hone their craft but also build profitable, sustainable practices. The conversation is rich with stories—like Wize's own journey from podcasting to launching a publishing company, helping a first-time author achieve her dream. Both men celebrate the power of giving yourself permission to experiment, learn, and fail forward. Mitch is passionate about teaching from the journey, not the destination, emphasizing that continuous growth leads to authentic impact. A major highlight is Mitch's Six Figure Sequence, a step-by-step system designed to help aspiring coaches, speakers, and content creators launch and grow their businesses with intentionality. Mitch breaks down how the sequence was born—from a wise mentor's advice at a busy local coffee shop (“What's your sequence?”) to developing an actionable, repeatable system that has helped thousands worldwide. The concept is simple but powerful: every successful venture has a sequence, a path that guides customers from curiosity to commitment. For Mitch, turning this wisdom into his business's backbone was transformative, and he now empowers others to create their own sequences for success. Wize and Mitch also explore the realities of monetizing creative work. Instead of chasing podcast sponsorships, Wize illustrates how developing skills—like book publishing and podcast setup—can become unique revenue streams. Mitch echoes this, encouraging listeners to recognize their value, lean into natural talents, and charge confidently for the transformation they offer. Another emotional thread is embracing change and personal growth. Wize reveals his own health transformation, losing over £120 in a year, and how the process reshaped his perspective and drive. These moments powerfully reinforce the episode's central theme: teach from the journey, model vulnerability, and empower others to do the same. Mitch's impact extends beyond individual coaching, with his mission to launch one million dreams. While quantifying such a goal is a work in progress, it's clear his ripple effect—through coaching, speaking, and training other coaches—is multiplying exponentially. Finally, the episode covers Mitch's acclaimed podcast, Dream. Think. Do., ranked in the top 1% globally. The show embodies Mitch's philosophy: give yourself permission to dream, strategize with purpose, and take bold action. Podcasting becomes more than a medium—it's a way to deepen conversations, build community, and amplify impact far beyond a single coaching session or keynote. Whether you're a coach, entrepreneur, creative, or someone feeling boxed in by an unfulfilling job, this episode offers actionable advice, raw truth, and genuine encouragement to break out, build with intention, and help others realize their dreams. Key takeaways from the episode: How to transition from a “safe” job into intentional entrepreneurship The importance of building side hustles before taking the leap Why most trainings ignore the business side—and how to fix it The power of the Six Figure Sequence in building sustainable, impactful businesses The value of teaching from your journey, not just your achievements How to monetize creative skills outside traditional sponsorships Why podcasting is a tool for growth, learning, and meaningful connection Stories of failure and success from both Mitch and Wize How the ripple effect of one dream can impact millions For resources, strategies, or to connect with Mitch, visit MitchMatthews.com and check out his Dream.

Have you felt offended lately? Maybe by something you saw online… or something someone said in a meeting… or even just a shift happening around you that felt off? You're not alone. In fact, the data says offense is everywhere—and social media is literally designed to feed it to you. But what if offense isn't just annoying or exhausting… what if it's actually blinding you to opportunity? In this deep-dive episode, Mitch unpacks why offense is so easy to fall into (especially in our current digital world), how it can hold you back—and more importantly—how to flip the script. With help from one of his favorite Olympic stories (spoiler: it involves a “flop” that changed the game), Mitch helps us navigate offense in a way that frees us up to see innovation, opportunity, and connection right where we are. This episode isn't just about navigating life with less offense—it's about living with more vision, more clarity, and a renewed ability to spot the “mat” in your own story.
