As a revert to the Catholic faith, Matt intimately understands the challenges and joys of walking the path of surrender to God. His professional journey as a licensed psychotherapist, leadership coach, and entrepreneur has uniquely equipped him to guide others in aligning their lives with the Gospel.
Matt’s work is grounded in the belief that the ultimate expression of manliness is Christlikeness. By blending psychological insight with the timeless wisdom of Catholic theology, Matt helps men cultivate courage, clarity, and resolve in every domain of their lives.
Whether through personalized 1-on-1 coaching or the Set Like Flint men’s cohorts, Matt empowers men to:
Break through inner obstacles.
Embrace bold action with unwavering resolve.
Deepen their relationship with God through contemplation.
Matt’s vision extends beyond coaching individuals; he is building a community of men striving for holiness. This vision has inspired the creation of Coeur de Marie Mountain Yurt and Retreat Center, nestled in the Idaho mountains on the Laughlin family homestead. Beginning in 2025, the center will host faith-centered retreats and gatherings.
At the heart of Matt’s coaching is a call to sanctify the ordinary and live fully for God’s glory, drawing strength from the sacramental life of the Church.
“Before I joined one of Matt’s earliest men’s groups several years ago—prior to the evolution of his current Set Like Flint model—I was navigating a major career transition. It had so many moving parts that I needed not only clarity but also the courage to effectively execute. The group setting provided a powerful space for personal discovery, commitment, and accountability with other noble men, each working through the complexities in their own lives. Matt is a phenomenally gifted coach and facilitator. He is an active mentor, meaning he walks the talk and enters the challenge with you. Matt is one of the best coaches I’ve worked with through the years.”
"As a father and business owner, I was struggling to balance it all. Matt’s coaching helped me get clear on my priorities and build the confidence to lead both at home and in my career. I’m finally living with purpose and direction."
"I had been feeling stuck in my life and unsure of my next steps. Matt helped me reconnect with my core values and gave me the tools to overcome my inner obstacles. I now feel empowered to show up as the man, husband, and father I want to be."
"Matt’s approach to coaching has been transformative. He challenged me to confront my fears and limiting beliefs, and in doing so, I’ve found a new sense of purpose. I’m now more present for my family and more driven in my career."
"I reached out to Matt when I was facing a major life transition, and his guidance was exactly what I needed. His coaching helped me align my actions with my values, and I’m now able to lead with clarity and authenticity in both my personal and professional life."
