Really excited to launch my first long form YouTube video. It's about one of the biggest problems I believe we face today: Manufactured Disconnection. Link below 👇

Now is not the time to be blaming the "other side" for their choices. Now is not the time to be fighting with each other. Now is the time to bring people in, realizing that we are all under one collective war hungry corporate controlled boot, no matter which party is in power.

Thankful for the comedians speaking truth to power. This spoke to me the entire 15mins on how we are trained to view terrorism/terrorists. One question I've been asking a lot over the last few years is: Are we ok w/ *committing* terrorism in the name of stopping terror? youtu.be/UVnbt3ydFNc?...

Getting a lot of disagreement on this on other channels. People who are angry and don’t want to give an inch. Imo those feelings are totally valid. We can all choose how we approach this. I feel the system encourages us to fight each other rather than the system itself (wealthy & corporations)

Bonus question: why would we bomb Yemen? (Hint: It is linked to us bombing civilians elsewhere)

Matty Stevenson @mattystevenson.bsky.social · 17/03/2025

Watched this moving video about people affected by recent flooding in Virginia while also hearing about the tornados this weekend. Then I see that we decided to bomb Yemen. How exactly is bombing Yemen helping us right now? www.youtube.com/watch?v=gRvb...

In my opinion we have never needed to practice true leadership for ourselves that fosters solidarity that most employers won't provide to us, nor want us to have so they can extract as much as possible from us while not compensating for the increased work being done.

Matty Stevenson @mattystevenson.bsky.social · 12/03/2025

Also factor in a tough job market and most employers are using this to take on more responsibility and further squeeze more work out of employees they know won't speak up for better conditions or wages for fear of losing their jobs.

Matty Stevenson @mattystevenson.bsky.social · 12/03/2025

Include with general anxiety around layoffs: Lack of transparency and authenticity from leaders, no strong company mission or vision, and flat wages/limited career growth while leaders compensation grows exponentially.

Matty Stevenson @mattystevenson.bsky.social · 12/03/2025

Employee confidence the lower in a decade? You don't say. This article mentions anxiety about layoffs but not some other factors I think are huge here: 🧵

This is something that will affect us all, especially when the entire political institution is enforcing the same agenda. What will be the next thing they decide is not acceptable speech or protest?

Matty Stevenson @mattystevenson.bsky.social · 10/03/2025

As a reminder, both major US parties cracked down on protests to end the daily inhumanity happening in P@lestine, so in this case, neither truly stands for free speech or the right to protest when it comes to specific speech and protest that they don’t like.

Matty Stevenson @mattystevenson.bsky.social · 10/03/2025

As a country founded on protest and free speech it’s pretty clear to me that we are in dangerous territory around the right to protest and what speech is truly “free” or not.

Matty Stevenson @mattystevenson.bsky.social · 10/03/2025

Watching all the stories about campus students being arrested for protesting and just wowed at the level of hypocrisy around free speech and protest.

Matty Stevenson @mattystevenson.bsky.social · 08/03/2025

Lots of insights already, but the one sticking with me so far is this: in an experimental mindset, there are no failures, only data to help inform your next steps or the next iteration of whatever you're working on. I love this as a new way of thinking about goals as well as creativity in general.

Matty Stevenson @mattystevenson.bsky.social · 08/03/2025

I was introduced to the idea of "Tiny Experiments" at a conference last year, and just the concept alone has influenced a lot of my work this year, even before this book came out. I'm about halfway through, and even though it is early in the year, I think it will easily make my top books of 2025.

Matty Stevenson @mattystevenson.bsky.social · 08/03/2025

Remember this when you're feeling it hard, or when you see someone else who may be. I've got you, and we've got each other.

Matty Stevenson @mattystevenson.bsky.social · 08/03/2025

And, equally important for us to be that support when others need it. To be the creators of spaces where people can talk, vent, and just let it out. I'm getting this support today, and I will be back to being that support again soon.

Matty Stevenson @mattystevenson.bsky.social · 08/03/2025

It simply isn't possible to not have days of despair. But, it is in those days where having groups or people that we can go to during these moments is more important than ever. For us to feel comfortable to reach out and say "I'm feeling it today. Can we talk about it?"

100

Matty Stevenson @mattystevenson.bsky.social · 08/03/2025

I know this will pass eventually and I'll get back to seeing the possibility in all the difficulty. But today, I'm just feeling it. It has me thinking about the importance of supports. Of family, friends, people we can confide in, people that can listen and hear us.

Matty Stevenson @mattystevenson.bsky.social · 08/03/2025

Today, though, is not one of those days. Today I'm feeling it all. I'm feeling despair. I'm have no hope. That the systems that control so much of our lives will never be slowed or defeated. That they'll continue to keep our anger directed at each other while they rob us until there's nothing left.

Matty Stevenson @mattystevenson.bsky.social · 08/03/2025

I typically have what I think is a decent and perhaps positive outlook on the world. While we continue to see so much upheaval, destruction, and things that feel scary, I still can often see some opportunity within it all.

Ever been in a conversation where you felt a "YES!" about being deeply understood? Turns out, neuroscience confirms we can create these moments with a few simple skills. Excited to share some of these skills in my group's 2nd event of the year.

This podcast episode ft Simon Sinek put many words to my recent thoughts around leadership. Literally screamed "YES!" many times throughout Not a big fan of the host's energy myself, but Sinek crushes imo. Some inspirational listening for the weekend. Thx to my partner for sharing spoti.fi/41jLJ5W

If profits can be made from war, there will always be a “need” for war.

I don't follow stocks much, but always something to see manufacturers of weapons that are purchased and used via our tax dollars in the green when everything else is in the red. Both political parties in the US love, and profit from war.

Do you all get as many political texts as I do? 100% of them are framed "help us DEFEAT the other side! Can you chip in $20?". Not a mention of any vision to solve problems. A trend I just heard as: Not what you're for, but what you're against. I think this is a leadership fail

In my opinion, music is one of the best ways to connect with each other. I don't do this every year, but for 2024 I curated a list of my favorite albums, along with a playlist of my fav songs from those. Happy listening! Spotify only at the moment mattys.co/fa24
