Matt - Community Over Competition

What would the world look like if we never doubted our ability to accomplish our dreams? Have you ever been told "you don't have what it takes" or even just asked "are you sure you should be doing that?" Today I want to introduce you to Matt, Matt is one that not only has wondered what we all might accomplish if doubt wasn't placed on us by others, but also is one who does what he can to be a voice of support for those around him As a photographer and creative individual Matt is one that knows how easy it is to feel a sense of fear when we pursue something new and the impact others words can have on us, good or bad He shares how he values community over competition, how he desires to facilitate growth among others in the creative community, and the importance in giving back to the places that continue to inspire him We talk about the impact genuine connections and experiences have had on us, why the people we connect with are what make the places we travel stand out the most, and why its so important to use our words wisely He shares about what starting out on his own was like and where he was before he took that leap, how he used to struggle with what others thought of him but how he's so grateful for the freedom he has found in quieting the noise of others We talk about the impact of failure and discomfort, how value is most often derived from what we can give to others, and the excitement in getting to share what he does with other creators Matt is one that is on a mission to not only connect and expand his own community but also to use what he grows to impact others, he is one that reminds us not to fear pursuing what brings us joy, and one that so beautifully and creatively shares his art with the world So tune in today and meet Matt, someone that no matter where you are on your journey, I believe there is something in knowing him that will help you take whatever your next step is And to you Matt thank you, thank you for the value you place on connection and the way it led our paths to cross, for the heart and human that you so genuinely share with those around you, for your encouragement and patience throughout the week, for the way you are willing to do what's needed without ever overlooking those around you, and for doing 90% of the driving! You are a someone I am so grateful to now call friend and so excited for what life has ahead. @chunger_shoots Join my travel community HERE
