Hi, I'm Matt 👓

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.
