Hi, I'm Matt 👓
I write about the things that make us all curious 🧠. Like how to be more satisfied with your life, find joy and tools 🛠️ to help improve at the things you like doing.
I love music, and make a virtual mixtape every month that I think you'll enjoy.
Each week, I share an email crammed full of tips for a better life, with some stuff to entertain and a musical recommendation 🎧.
Feel free to subscribe to the newsletter (100% free for ever), or get in touch if I can help you.
