Who is Matt Booth?
The keynote speaker who’s challenged a half million people worldwide to “Frickin’ Do Something”
For more than three decades, Matt's mission has been simple: provide you hope that tomorrow can be better than today. And he believes that's possible when you "figure it out" using the fundamentals that never change. The basics we can't skip.
His no-fluff, straight-talking style cuts through the noise with a refreshing truth: an incredible life doesn't come from complicated strategies or outside-the-box thinking. It comes from mastering the basics consistently.
The “Basically Incredible” philosophy
“An incredible life, incredible relationships, and even an incredible business come from daily, specific actions and small, fundamental changes.
A basically incredible life is full of satisfaction and fulfillment. The kind of life where you rock on your front porch at age ninety and are proud of the story you've lived."
Through years of self-discovery, Matt discovered simple, fundamental practices truly make the real difference.
In an age of quick fixes, he suggests we think inside the box first. Basic doesn’t mean easy, but it does mean worthwhile and effective.
Through his book Basically Incredible, Matt delivers a practical framework that transforms knowledge into real-world action. He equips people with tools they can use immediately improve their work, leadership and life.
How Matt helps people “Figure it out”
Matt’s Basically Incredible Model simplifies core challenges and provides clear, actionable solutions:
Attitude. Do you have a plan to navigate negativity? Becoming a mostly positive person depends on it.
Communication. Do you understand other people, and do other people understand you? Improving this is critical for community.
Goals. When you know where you are today and where you want to go tomorrow, you can build a roadmap. Plan. And take action.
Health. Sleep. Movement. What we eat. These are the big three. And it doesn’t need to be more complicated than that.
Faith. Your why, what you believe that’s bigger than yourself. Knowing this motivates you and supplies the strength to act.
