Husband. Dad. Athlete. Musician. SERIAL ENTREPRENEUR.

Hi, my name is MATT FREEDMAN. IM a serial entrepreneur, husband, ATHLETE, MUSICIAN, AND GIRLDAD FROM THE USA.

Today I’m AN AWARD WINNING SONGWRITER, investor, author, SPEAKER and coach to SALES REPS AND FOUNDERS.

BUT..

I CAME FROM VERY HUMBLE BEGINNINGS.

WHEN I WAS BORN, I WAS ABANDONED.

LATER, I WAS ADOPTED BY TWO PUBLIC SCHOOL TEACHERS.

THEY RAISED ME AS AN ATHLETE, MUSICIAN, AND ACTIVE PARTICIPANT IN OUR COMMUNITY.

I EARNED DOZENS OF SCHOLARSHIP OFFERS AS A FOOTBALL, BASKETBALL AND BASEBALL PLAYER, AND CHOSE TO PURSUE BEING A COLLEGE QUARTERBACK.

BUT..

When I was just 18, I FOUND MYSELF IN A DARK ALLEY WRESTLING THE POLICE AND ALMOST LET ONE DECISION RUIN A COLLEGE FOOTBALL SCHOLARSHIP, AND MY LIFE’S WORK.

After my rough start, I WORKED MY ASS OFF ON THE FOOTBALL FIELD TO LEAD MY TEAM TO A NATIONAL CHAMPIONSHIP, BUT BLEW MY KNEE OUT ON THE FIELD JUST A YEAR LATER AND LOST MY POSITION TO A FRESHMAN — I FAILED.

At 20, I CASHED MY ONLY CHILDHOOD SAVINGS BONDS AND to start my first business, and burned through the cash before i graduated college — I failed.

At 24, I WON A COMCAST INNOVATION CONTEST BY BUILDING THE WORLD’S FIRST MOBILE TICKETING COMPANY, ONLY TO REALIZE THAT THE FIRST IPHONE COULDN’T BY SCANNED BY THE ARCHAIC TICKET SCANNERS - i FAILED.

SO I QUIT AND I went into CORPORATE JOBS FOR A FEW YEARS.

i HATED IT.

THERE WAS SOMETHING BURNING INSIDE OF ME that WAS BIGGER THAN THAT CUBICLE, THAT I KNEW I HAD TO PURSUE.

SO, I pivoted.

AND..

At 27 I STARTED A DIRECT TO CONSUMER GOLF SHOE BRAND OUT OF MY GARAGE CALLED CANOOS. I BUILT THE BRAND ON SHOPIFY over 3 years TO 10,000 CUSTOMERS, doing DEALS WITH THE MASTERS, AT&T, AND HUNDREDS OF COUNTRY CLUBS..

AND ALMOST FAILED THAT TOO.

HOW?

I TRIED TO DO EVERYTHING MYSELF.

THE BRANDING, PHOTOGRAPHY, SOURCING, WEB DEVELOPMENT, SALES, MARKETING, SOCIAL, ALL OF IT. AND AFTER 3 YEARS OF 100 HOUR WEEKS, I BURNED UP LIKE A DRY LEAF.

I COULDN’T GET OUT OF MY OWN WAY TO SCALE THE BUSINESS.

I WAS STRESSED, DEPRESSED, UNHEALTHY, WORN OUT, PISSED OFF, AND IN THE HOSPITAL.

I ALMOST - FAILED.

HOWEVER, I LEARNED SOMETHING VERY VALUABLE THROUGHOUT THAT PROCESS.

WHAT I LEARNED WAS:

IF I WANTED TO GO FAST, I COULD GO ALONE.

IF I WANTED TO GO FAR, I WOULD GO TOGETHER.

i was finding my identity.

SO, I TOOK ON PARTNERS, HIRED A SMALL TEAM, OUTSOURCED TO PARTNERS AND WE SOLD THE COMPANY FOR A 7 FIGURE INVESTMENT TO PRIVATE EQUITY.

I had FINALLY SUCCEEDED.

FAST FORWARD MORE THAN 10 YEARS LATER, WHERE AM I NOW?

• I’VE BUILT 3 OTHER BUSINESSES IN SAAS, CONSULTING AND TECH

• IVE BEEN PART OF 3 ACQUISITIONS FOR OVER $1.6B

• IVE BEEN AWARDED 6 UNITED STATES PATENTS

• i’ve consulted hundreds of founders, business owners and companies on how to grow, scale and build their brand

• IVE BUILT A MUSIC CAREER AS A PERFORMER, SONGWRITER AND RECORDING ARTIST PERFORMING WITH THE LIKES OF MIRANA LAMBERT, CODY JOHNSON, BRANTLEY GILBERT, BRETT YOUNG, AND MANY OTHERS.

SO, HOW CAN MY STORY AND MY CONTENT HELP YOU?

IF YOU’VE GONE THROUGH STRUGGLE, SUFFERING AND STRAIN IN YOUR LIFE OR CAREER

IF YOU BOUNCE BACK AND FORTH BETWEEN STARTING COMPANIES, AND WORKING IN THE CORPORATE WORLD but feel a void

IF YOU’VE BEEN MISGUIDED TO THINK THAT THE STRAIGHT AND NARROW PATH IS THE ONLY WAY TO FIND SUCCESS

IF YOU’RE WILLING TO RUN THROUGH A BRICK WALL TO CHASE SOMETHING, BUT YOU DON’T KNOW WHAT TO CHASE

IF YOUR SALES OR MARKETING CONTENT FAILS TO CONNECT WITH YOUR AUDIENCE

IF YOU OR YOUR BRAND SEEMS CONFUSED, MISUNDERSTOOD, OR STRUGGLING TO FULLY GRASP ITS TRUE IDENTITY

I AM YOU.

THIS IS WHY I CREATED FREEDMAN MEDIA. TO CONNECT WITH OTHER FOUNDERS, ENTREPRENEURS AND LEADERS WHO FEEL THEIR SENSE OF PURPOSE OR IDENTITY IS SHAKEN.

MY SUPERPOWER IS HELPING PEOPLE and brands FIND THEIR IDENTITY AND sell THEIR STORY, BECAUSE IT FELT IMPOSSIBLE FOR ME TO DO THIS MY ENTIRE LIFE. i have become obsessed with identity and CONNECTION.

I HAVE HELPED FOUNDERS, ENTREPRENEURS, BUSINESS LEADERS, US MILITARY VETERANS, CELEBRITIES AND MANY OTHERS SELL THEIR STORY.

and i want to help you.

THESE DAYS, I COACH, CONSULT, SPEAK, EMCEE AND TRAVEL AROUND THE WORLD HELPING PEOPLE NOT ONLY TELL, BUT SELL THEIR STORY. THROUGH AUTHENTICITY, THROUGH CONTENT STRATEGY AND THROUGH PERSONAL GRIT.

i also still perform music, because why the hell not.

IF THIS SOUNDS LIKE YOU, IM SURE I CAN HELP you, AND IM SURE YOU CAN HELP ME.

MAKE TODAY THE DAY.

Cheers,

MF
