Meet MATT LAUGHLIN

A Coach Committed to faith, formation & Brotherhood

Matt Laughlin is a coach, former licensed psychotherapist, and entrepreneur dedicated to helping Catholic men become unshakable in faith, grounded in purpose, and disciplined in action.


A husband and father of four boys, Matt lives in the mountains outside Coeur d’Alene, Idaho, where he and his family strive to live fully in Christ, grounded in prayer, work, and community..

Professional Background

  • Former licensed professional counselor in private practice, specializing in men’s transformation.

  • Entrepreneur & business owner, launching and leading multiple local franchises, including coaching leaders nationwide.

  • Leadership & formation coach, combining psychology, Catholic spirituality, and real-world execution.

A Vision for Formation & Brotherhood

After years of coaching and leading local men's groups, Matt launched Set Like Flint to serve Catholic men across the country—creating a place where men could step into formation, break through inner limitations, and lead with conviction.


Beyond individual coaching and group cohorts, Matt is developing a retreat space in Idaho where men will be able to immerse themselves in faith, silence, and formation.

Who this is for?

Set Like Flint is for Catholic men who want to be forged through faith, grace, and discipline.

It’s not for men looking for a casual discussion group. It’s for men who are serious about surrendering their will to God at greater depth and leading lives of action, virtue, and strength.

Are you ready to be forged?

What Men Are Saying

“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.
