    #23: Cutting Through The Bullshit | Peak Performance Psychologist, Matt Follows

    In this episode we speak to Matt Follows, a Peak Performance Psychologist and coach for some of the biggest names in the creative and entertainment industry. We discuss how to handle pressure, finding your flow and cutting through the bullshit. Matt's results he claims, get are deep and profound, unbreakable under pressure, and bullshit free. Which is why some people call him the Subconscious B******t Eliminator. But most just call him Matt. After spending 20 years as a multi award-wining writer and creative director at Wieden + Kennedy, M&C Saatchi, Naked, and Clemenger BBDO, Matt traded a steady income for life as a commercial and documentary director at 2am TV in Camden, and Another Film Company in Soho. After all this he went on to train to advanced levels in Emotional Freedom Technique (EFT), Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), Matrix Reimprinting, Eye Movement Desensitisation & Reprocessing (EMDR), and numerous other high performance psychologies and transformational therapies in London and Sydney. Today, as well as being an in-demand coach, he's an international trainer, workshop facilitator, and keynote speaker for top-flight creative businesses and global super-brands like FOX, Bentley, Toyota, Lexus, and Westfield, where he specialises in injecting breakthrough thinking, and sustainable high performance, into their heads, hearts, and hands.
