Friday, 28 November, 2025
What if the very thing you thought was your weakness… was actually your greatest weapon? In this powerful conversation, Trent sits down with Matthew Cox — entrepreneur, healthcare leader, author of The Courage to Learn Differently, and one of the sharpest minds in company acceleration. Matthew opens the door to his childhood experiences with learning disabilities and how he transformed those challenges into a genuine superpower in leadership, communication, and culture-building. From decoding struggles to public speaking stages, from healthcare systems to scaling companies, Matthew brings a raw, honest look at what leaders get wrong — and what they must get right — to grow past their ceilings. Together, Trent and Matthew break down: Why leaders become their own bottleneck How systems (not heroics) scale organizations The hidden cost of wearing all the hats Coaching, humility & stripping away ego Continuous learning in a noisy, AI-driven world Why great companies collapse without behavior alignment How Bloom software shifts a company from chaos to clarity Reps, communication, and the reality of high-performance execution This is a masterclass in leadership behavior, operational discipline, and the courage to learn differently. Key Themes Leadership is behavior, not title Systems drive growth — emotions destroy it Letting go of hats to build a real organization The power of coachability & humility Turning disabilities into competitive advantages The danger of advice from unqualified voices Communication: the true separator The CEO's loneliness and the need for trusted guides Bloom Growth as the "air traffic control" system for business About the Guest Matthew Cox is a seasoned entrepreneur, healthcare expert, author, and company accelerator helping leaders scale from chaos to clarity.
