Key outcomes for living Uncaged
Seize control of your 9-5
Take the Red Pill and escape your Matrix. Challenge the "truths" you accept about work. You don't need to be in all those meetings or work all those hours. You can succeed there on your terms — so that it's "win-win" for you and the organization.
Reclaim (and redirect) precious time and energy to what matters most
We're generally able to reduce corporate work hours by 40%. Use this regained time and energy for family, self-care, and passion work. You've got a full life to live.
Conquer self-sabotage
Identify the obstacles that you're putting in your own way. These "pressures" are 99% fabricated by you (they're not real). Release them and start thriving — at work and home.
Design the custom blueprint for your breathtaking life
Radical self-transformation can't happen without a sharp and compelling vision. Across 5 "freedom" dimensions (Time, Financial, Purpose, Relationships, Health), specify "success" over the coming years. Then, ignite 30-day habits that get the flywheel moving.
Recession-proof yourself
Don’t go to the grave with your gifts locked inside of you. Commit to 10X personal growth by exploring an energizing side hustle business. This keeps you relevant and resilient in the marketplace. Diversify and kickstart entrepreneurial "you"...while keeping your 9-5.

Meet your instructor
Matt Doan
Founder, Uncaged Pro
👋 Hi! Early in life, I let my job dominate me.
It cost me a marriage, access to my kids, my mental health.
In my "rebuild" phase, I realized I could step out of the (imagined) Corporate Cage.
I found the courage to set my own terms:
- My role at work
- What I said "yes" to
- Hours, meetings, boundaries
- Protecting my deep work time
- Prioritizing self-care and family
- Growing outside the 9-5 (side hustle, personal brand)
And guess what? Nothing bad happened.
I was actually promoted, several times over. My reputation 📈
I made a choice to live Uncaged.
And you can too.
You deserve to feel alive, energized, & confident at your 9-5.

Course syllabus
01
Break the Corporate Chains
Is the 9-5 dominating your life? Stop tolerating that. This is a foundational and tactical module designed to identify pain symptoms at work (e.g., meeting overload), along with root causes. We'll rapidly develop "corporate countermeasures" to boldly (and safely) take control of work, buying you back time and energy to build a bigger life.
02
Envision Your Ideal Life
If given a blank slate, what would your career and life look like? Here, we release from the constraints of today and draw inspiration from your heroes. We'll use 10X thinking and regret (as a power tool) to paint a picture of your enhanced life (professional and personal). In essence, we'll frame up your ideal Future Self.
03
Design Your Future Self Blueprint
Freedom is something we all crave. But it means something different to each of us. Across five "freedom" dimensions, we'll articulate the specifics. We'll identify the "get started" micro habits/projects that'll compound over several years into the life you dream of. It's time to be your Future Self...now.
04
Kickstart Entrepreneurial "You"
The 9-5 provides stability, but this single-stream income won't generate prosperity. And with the economy changing rapidly, you must diversify your professional self. Discover your unique (monetizable) blend of perspectives, skills, and experiences. Learn how to ignite your side hustle — to generate wealth and continual personal growth.
05
[Post-Cohort]
Stay engaged with Matt and your peers through the Uncaged Club (community). This is a private forum with resources, special guests, and events that keeps you inspired and energized to (1) own your 9-5 and (2) be your Future Self.
