"Matt did a great job bringing energy to our group and staying on time! Loved the content and his insights."

Rudy Comeaux, Lemoine 

"Matt Hasby was awesome! Our group can be a tough crowd, but Matt was able to keep everyone focused and engaged. The way he related the leadership principles to combat, business, and everyday life was great."

Megan Mott, Human Resources Manager, Knight Const. & Supply, Inc.

"Matt Hasby held the pre-engagement meeting with us and nailed down what we were looking to get out of the event.  Matt met all expectations and his message was well received by the group."

George Neira, Puget Sound Naval Shipyard, Welding Engineering Tech, Norfolk Naval Shipyard

"Matt did a phenomenal job with what I imagine is not your traditional audience and industry.Matt provided the needed level of detail to an audience that was mostly comprised of people who had never heard of Extreme Ownership, Jocko, etc.  For those of us that were familiar with this at a deeper level (myself included) it was still extremely helpful, valuable, and eye opening.  He engaged with a crowd that has people who are not familiar or even friendly to the military.  He got them to warm up, respond, and think about these issues.  I've received several people who said extremely positive things about the training, instructor and experience who I did not think would respond that way."

Cody Loew, UW-Madision, School of Human Ecology
