Hi! I'm

Matt Lindsey

I guide leaders who feel the tension

between where they are and

where they’re meant to be.

When clarity fades, pressure builds,

and what once felt steady starts to slip.

You don't need another playbook.

You need space to think clearly,

to see what's really happening, and

to reconnectwith what matters most.

Success doesn’t follow one path.

My role is to guide you toward yours,

anchored in clarity, conviction, and care.

You’ve worked hard to build a life that makes sense.
A business, a career, a team, a rhythm that once fit.

But lately, something’s off.
Clarity fades. Energy dips.

The things that used to drive you

don’t feel the same.

That’s not failure.
It’s the edge of growth.

It's the moment that asks for

a different kind of strength.

That’s where I guide from.

We slow down, get honest about

what’s working, what’s eroding,

and what’s asking to change.

Together, we return to what’s true
so you can move forward

clear, steady, and

grounded in purpose.

If that sounds like you,

let’s talk.

Who I Walk With

Professionals & Individuals in Transition

When success stops feeling like yours, it’s time to realign before more slips away.
Let’s rebuild from what

matters most.

Teams & Leaders Ready to Evolve

When culture cracks or

trust erodes,
performance follows.
I help teams realign

before that happens.

Jiu-Jitsu &

MMA Athletes

You’ve mastered the

fight on the mats.

Now bring that clarity and discipline

to life beyond them.

WHY ME: A Coach Who's Been in the Founder's Shoes

Coaching is more than methodology. It's about knowing what pressure feels like from the inside.

I've helped build a public company from the inside, led culture, coached founders, and lived the pressure cooker of startup life. I've directed a nonprofit based in a literal warzone, managed my own construction business, and served on multiple nonprofit boards.

I catch team fractures before they turn into fault lines, and I build the kind of trust that scales. I combine real-world experience with professional coaching credentials, startup fluency, and a "results-first" mindset, all grounded in ICF ethics.

Beyond experience, I bring:

Certified training in evidence-based, outcome-oriented coaching frameworks

Deep fluency in startup and founder dynamics

A track record of helping teams align, communicate, and execute under real pressure

Full alignment with ICF ethics and competencies, because this work deserves professional standards

Real Stories, Real Growth

You won’t get scripts or systems here. You’ll get space, insight, and real partnership.

This isn’t about fixing you. It’s about helping you return to what matters.

"Matt was a coach to me long before he made it official. From the inception of Charlotte’s Web, through its IPO, and beyond, he helped me cut through noise, reconnect to vision, and make decisions under pressure. He was a sounding board for most of our executive team and me, and his contribution to our success was palpable. To this day, I call him my plumb line. Now, with formal education added to his natural gift, I can’t imagine a better coach for founders and executives navigating complexity and growth."
