In this week’s episode, Matt Landau returns to the show to share one of the most personal and transformational shifts of his career — a journey from building systems and scaling success to rediscovering the power of human connection.
Long known as a community builder and founder of VRMB, Matt opens up about the moment everything changed. After years of being surrounded by the same ideas and doing the same routines, he stepped outside the norm and into a retreat that would forever alter his perspective on leadership, creativity, and authenticity.
Now leading his own immersive experiences through Here Goes Nothin’, Matt is helping business leaders from all industries explore their own breakthrough moments by leaning into discomfort, curiosity, and connection.
Key Topics Discussed:
1️⃣ The “aha” moment that shifted Matt’s trajectory
2️⃣ Why scaling isn't always the answer—and what comes next
3️⃣ The creative power of letting go of control
4️⃣ What it really means to lead with authenticity
5️⃣ How retreats are reshaping the future of leadership and hospitality
6️⃣ Why personal breakthroughs often unlock professional success
If you’ve ever felt stuck, uninspired, or simply curious about what else might be possible, this episode is your invitation to take the leap.
