"Planting the Seeds Greatness" - Matt Rush, Keynote Speaker

Known as the Gooder Guy, Matt Rush says, “You can do more, be more and have more than you ever thought possible. You just have to be willing to get over yourself to get there.”

From the time Matt was in the 8th grade, he knew his life’s ambition was to help others become more than they ever thought possible. Since then, his speeches, seminars and coaching have inspired thousands of people. He has authored several books but the newest is a kids book series called, The Marshmallow Cowboy!

Having grown up on a farm and ranch, he brings a common sense, “farm boy” logic to his speaking & training. Matt is passionate about his values, helping others and is dedicated to the development of a strong, successful future for our current and upcoming generation.
