Personal Details

Bio

Hello. . . my name is Matt Gersper (a.k.a. Mr. Happy Living), and I speak to people about finding true self.

*

I have failed and I have succeeded. Lots of times. . . Been hired. Been fired. Gone through divorce and nearly drowned – separate occasions!

Then one day at the bottom of a canyon, I woke up, took another chance.

I found truth and joy.

Love. Adventure. Significance. Things that matter most… to me!

*

And now I live to give back.

To help. To inspire.

*

Books and talks. Retreats and Fun.

*

I’m Matt Gersper. . . Let’s talk.™

The Happy Formula.

Capacity + Purpose = Happy

Is there a formula for Happy? Mr. Happy Living thinks so.

Matt Gersper, aka Mr. Happy Living, is speaking around the world about his Happy Formula, about the ability we all have to attain happiness through a life of capacity and purpose. He instructs us how Earthly Energy plus Spiritual Energy (with a little perspective thrown in) equals Happy.

Matt shares his story of failure and triumph on the football field, in business, and in his personal life—and how he has evolved in one major aspect of his thinking: “The Universe is not ‘out there,’ it is inside of us, each and every one of us.” And it is a mighty force, indeed.

Learn the transformative power of acceptance. Learn to shine your light of consciousness where it matters most, for you. Learn the Happy Formula to create a life of capacity, purpose, and significance… a life of joy, a life of Happy that's unique to you!

From Fired To Forty-Two Million—One Guy’s Story

This talk is for entrepreneurs wanting to believe every success they can imagine is possible. I share the intimate details of my entrepreneurial roller coaster ride.

I was fired in January 2004. I raised some money and bought a business in an industry I knew absolutely nothing about. Started up a second company in the same industry, at the same time. It got pretty rough going, pretty fast. The businesses were losing money, every year... accumulating more than $750,000 in operational losses at one point. By the end of year 3, our primary business loan had gone into default. And then my wife of nearly twenty-four years fired me too.

Another 7 years later, we sold out for $42.5 million (against my wishes), I walked away from my deep dive in the international trade industry (which I had learned a lot about) and started another company in an industry I knew absolutely nothing about.

The style or vibe of my talk is intimate; I simply share my story—the good, the bad, and the ugly!

DISCONNECT from the world, get IMMERSED in your conference, and TRANSFORM your life!

This talk is designed to get conference attendees ready to DISCONNECT from all the worries and complexities of their life, get completely IMMERSED in the awesome speakers, activities, and fellow attendees, and use their time at the conference to create the power to TRANSFORM into their absolute best self.

It's about treating the cost, time, and opportunity of attending a conference as the life-changing opportunity that it is designed to be!

DISCONNECT: You've spent the time and money to be here so temporarily leave it all behind—your job, relationships, and the gravity of life that weighs you down. All of it. Turn off the cell phone too! IMMERSE: Jump both feet into the welcoming and healing waters of the conference and ride the current for all it's worth. TRANSFORM: I teach a transformational process to change your life for the better, after all, isn't that why you go to a conference—to become more after the conference than before you went?

  • Matt recently spoke at our 2nd annual Wake Up for Wishes breakfast at the Peninsula Club. Having never heard him speak before, I was blown away by his way of keeping the audience engaged and interested. His opening and closing dialogue was real and powerful. Matt is personable and likable by everyone!

  • I had the awesome opportunity to hear Matt give his talk at my Business Leaders Unleashed Lunch Meeting this week. And there is only one word I have to describe the experience... WOW!! It is so refreshing to see in real-time how that it takes failure to achieve much success and that putting others before ourselves is the only way to true happiness and fulfillment in ANY profession. I HIGHLY recommend Matt and his methodologies for living!!

  • Matt is an excellent speaker and he has been my guest on the Onward Podcast on two separate occasions. In the episode entitled Happy Living: a mission to improve the health and well-being of the world, one person at a time, Matt shared helpful and practical tips on how to live a happy life and how to turn inspiration into action. He backed his advice up with his life story. In my special coronavirus episode, Matt's insightful advice to maintain perspective, adapt, nest, invest, and remain calm, brought hope and inspiration to my audience.
