BOOK MATT
TO SPEAK
Raw, honest, entertaining talks on entrepreneurship, funding, resilience, and building from nothing. Your audience won’t just listen — they’ll be fired up.
THE EXPERIENCE
WHY BOOK MATT?
Matt doesn’t do boring keynotes. He tells real stories — the wins, the losses, the bankruptcy, the billion. His talks are raw, honest, and packed with actionable insights that audiences can implement immediately.
Audiences don’t just listen — they engage, laugh, and leave with a fire lit under them. Whether it’s a room of 50 CEOs or a conference of 5,000, Matt brings the same energy, the same honesty, and the same impact.
No slides full of corporate jargon. No motivational fluff. Just real stories from real experience that actually help people build better businesses.
“I don’t do motivational fluff. I do real talk that gets results.”

REVIEWS
WHAT EVENT ORGANISERS SAY
Matt was the highlight of our conference. Standing ovation. Multiple attendees said it was the best keynote they'd ever seen. We've already booked him for next year.
Amanda Clarke
Events Director, ScaleUp Summit
We've had hundreds of speakers over the years. Matt is in the top 3. His energy, his stories, and his ability to connect with any audience is remarkable.
Tom Bradley
CEO, Entrepreneurs Circle
Matt turned what could have been a standard corporate away day into something our team still talks about 6 months later. He challenged us, made us laugh, and gave us a clear action plan.
Sarah Mitchell
COO, Meridian Group
I don’t speak to fill a slot on your agenda. I speak to change the way your audience thinks about business.

FAQ
COMMON QUESTIONS
How much do you charge for speaking?
It depends on the event, location, format, and duration. Keynotes start from £5,000 for UK events. International events, multi-day commitments, and corporate away days are priced individually. Get in touch and we'll discuss.
Do you travel internationally?
Yes. I've spoken in 15+ countries and I'm based between the UK, Dubai, and Bali. Travel and accommodation costs are additional for international events.
Can you tailor your talk to our audience?
Absolutely. I always tailor my content to the audience. A room full of property investors gets a different talk than a room full of tech founders. Tell me about your audience and I'll craft something that resonates.
Do you do virtual events?
Yes, though I prefer in-person. There's an energy in a live room that you can't replicate on Zoom. That said, I've done plenty of virtual keynotes and webinars that have gone down brilliantly.
How far in advance should we book?
The earlier the better. My calendar fills up 2-3 months in advance. For major events, 3-6 months notice is ideal. But if you've got something urgent, reach out — I'll see what I can do.
Do you sell from stage?
Only if you want me to. I can deliver a pure content keynote with no pitch, or I can include a soft CTA for my products/services if it's appropriate for your audience. Your call.
Can we record your talk?
Yes, with prior agreement. I'm happy for events to be recorded and shared. It's great content for both of us. We'll agree the terms in advance.
