I really enjoy being part of Matt’s community.
I really enjoy being part of Matt’s community. You can tell he truly cares about us. He shows up consistently, checks in often, and makes sure everyone feels seen and supported. He creates space for real, thoughtful conversations, not just surface-level posts. And what stands out is how knowledgeable he is while still being approachable and genuine. There’s a lot of value in what he shares, but it always comes from a place of wanting to help. It’s a great space to be in, and I’m grateful to be part of it.

An excellent investment of time
I have been in several Mens groups in my time and I have always been drawn to authenticity and men being REAL. By that I mean, saying exactly what is going on with you, even if it is negative. Matt keeps it real. I read some of his posts and they just resonated with me, so I joined his group. From there we connected 1:1 and I'm very glad to have him as part of my journey. He provides support where necessary but will also give it to you straight. This community will be a part of my journey for a long time to come. So if you are looking for a place to invest some time and have it well spent, you have arrived.

Heather's passion for books is contagious!
I've been a member of The Skooler's Library since October 2025. Heather has such a passion for books and reading, you can't help but catch it! Since joining I've doubled the amount I'm reading books which has helped me tremendously in reducing my doomscrolling!

Knowledge Distilled Into Simple Actions
Heather (the owner) does a great job of presenting knowledge from various viewpoints and distilling it into simple, easy-to-digest (and implement) chunks. She is very approachable and always ready to discuss interesting ideas. The community itself is very welcoming and open to sharing their knowledge with each other. I have felt welcome from the very first day and have learned a lot from Heather and other members. If your self-help book list is never-ending (and only growing), The Skoolers Library is a place where you can make real progress by implementing insights from various books while being surrounded by a supportive peer group. I highly recommend this community!
