Testimonials

“Rarely does one speaker say that it is a privilege to watch another speaker, but Matt Wilson clearly is the rare exception.  I saw him present from a behind the curtain vantage point.  He had everyone engaged, excited and energized.  I hate to say this, but instead of being the opening act that day, he should have been in my spot – the main act.  Yes, Matt is that good.” –Mike Michalowicz, Toilet Paper Entrepreneur

Being able to share it with other entrepreneurs was an even bigger inspiration.”–Charissa Cowart On-Air Talent | Talent Director

“Matt Wilson and Jared O’Toole of Under30CEO.com are passionate, full of energy, and genuinely excited to help others pursue their passions and the entrepreneurial lifestyle.  Their expertise in social media and personal branding is phenomenal, and their ability to make it understandable, accessible, and more importantly fun, has both informed and inspired me. My blog, and my soon to launch “passion project” are a direct result of the inspiration and the direct guidance I have received from being associated with Under30CEO.com and I am very grateful to Matt and Jared for their support.”–Dave Macauley

“Matt Wilson is a charismatic speaker who inspired the crowd at our first annual Elevator Pitch competition at Clarkson University to follow their dreams and pursue what they are truly passionate about. And, he did so in a most entertaining way: providing a very compelling example of how to immerse yourself in the industry that you are passionate about. Matt is great at engaging with his audience and we hope to have him back to Clarkson University again in the near future!” –John Exley, President of Clarkson University Collegiate Entrepreneurs’ Organization
