The Breakthrough with Stephen Husted

EP 51: From Money Talk to Media with Matt Bontrager

Stephen sits down with Matt, a creative entrepreneur who’s no stranger to reinvention. From battling identity crises and burnout to learning how to lead with honesty and intention, Matt opens up about the raw, behind-the-scenes journey most people won’t show you online. Two creatives talking real life, real business, and what it takes to keep showing up when nothing makes sense.

Stephen and Matt talked about:

📌Pivoting your brand when your identity evolve

📌Burnout, breakdowns, and rebuilding from scratch

📌Feeling invisible even when you’re “doing the work”

📌Leading a team when you don’t feel like a leader

📌Untangling your worth from your work

📌Learning to rest without guilt

📌Managing the mental chaos of growing in public

📌Grieving past versions of yourself

📌What most people get wrong about healing and success

📌Permission to be in-process, even while helping others
