Background: Thrive in Every Environment with Matt Wright: Teacher - Entrepreneur - Survivalist Matt Wright’s entrepreneurial spirit began at an early age. Having traveled the country from Alaska to Florida hunting big game, he had both highly developed skills and a zeal for adventure. His positivity and determination led him to begin his business. At first, it was more of a “side hustle” as a professional big game hunting guide to earn a bit of cash. He recognized the need for specialized equipment to navigate the wilds he traversed. An idea was formed, and the development of various knives and outdoor gear prototypes began. Of course, Matt field-tested his efforts and the “side hustle” expanded to include survival equipment. A desire to serve his country led Matt to join the U.S. Air Force which provided time to deepen his earnestness, fearlessness, and perseverance. An injury prompted Matt’s separation from the Air Force. Upon returning to Colorado, he resurrected his “side hustle” while continuing to accept other jobs. He honed his knife making skills and continued to develop other specialized equipment. Matt credits meeting and marrying Brooke Benham with changing his focus; he began to recognize the potential of his business and with Brooke at his side, Extreme Instinct, LLC became a full-time operation providing primitive wilderness survival training, guide for big game hunting, and custom knives and equipment. As a native Coloradan, Matt attributes his passion for the outdoors to his parents. With a passion for the outdoors coupled with keen observation skills and curiosity, he honed his talent for adapting to the environment. Matt’s dogged determination to excel earned him the moniker “Juggernaut”: an unstoppable force. Matt’s survival expertise was documented on six seasons of Discovery Channel’s Naked and Afraid, and Britain’s First Man Out Season two. Partnership is vitally important to every entrepreneur and Matt is no exception. It took another “juggernaut”, fellow Coloradan Brooke Benham Wright, survivalist, 2018 Adventuress of the Year for Matt Wright to achieve his dream. Whether in the snowcapped mountains of Colorado, in the Air Force’s Special Operations Training field, on an uninhabited island in the Bahamian archipelago, in Africa’s Selati River Basin, in Ecuador’s Amazon Basin, in Louisiana Bayou, or on the South China Sea, Matt Wright has discovered how to adapt and thrive in every environment. His positive approach, dogged determination, keen observation skills, and patience inspires those around him enabling the team to thrive.
