In 2013, Matt co-founded a regenerative agriculture farm, showcasing his innovative spirit and dedication to nurturing the Earth. But that’s not all—his love for the oceans led him to own an annual ocean-based publication, a celebration of marine wonder that resonates with his adventurous spirit.

A published writer in his own right, Matt’s words have powerfully conveyed the essence of sustainability, eco-consciousness, and unity with nature. His writing serves as a roadmap for those seeking a greener path forward.

Matt recently completed a ‘critical leadership’ course with Cumbria University, guided by the eminent Prof Jem Bendell. This reflects his unyielding commitment to personal growth and effective leadership, adding an exciting dimension to his already impressive repertoire.

Join us in this week’s episode as we uncover the vibrant tapestry of Matt’s life, from regenerative farming to oceanic appreciation, and his pivotal role in steering Hometree Charity towards a brighter, more sustainable future. Tune in and let Matt’s uplifting journey ignite your own drive to create positive change!

Lots of Love,

Dave & Steve
