PANEL WILL FEATURE:
Moderator: Matt Gottesman, Founder, Writer, Podcaster: Matt is a 2x founder, writer and podcaster. He’s also an agile digital marketer and strategist by trade with a background in helping some of the world’s most iconic brands. However, nearly a decade ago he decided to reconstruct his own narrative by taking to the Internet to create, build and publish to the world to communicate to the masses at the intersection of culture, creativity, spirituality and entrepreneurship. He loves business, spirituality and exploring personal development and human optimization because he believes all of these help us become better people creating more intentional impact in the world. He runs Permissionless™ (a weekly newsletter on Substack) & a personal podcast, The Niche Is You™ as a way to help people break from the “system” to expand more on themselves through their collective work, art and passions with the goal of bringing more ownership and sovereignty back to the individual. In short, he felt that choosing a niche can feel like life or death until you realize the niche is you. You are the most powerful and creative operating system so your purpose actually has direction. Matt is currently working on his first two published books due out in 2024.
