Uncaged Academy

It's one-of-a-kind.

There's endless (traditional) help out there focused on "20% pay increase!" (band-aid) or "leave corporate!" (too radical).

Here, we teach you to:

1. Succeed within corporate in a way that's good for your life
2. Lay the groundwork for more freedom, professionally and personally

We unlock both stability and prosperity.

I don't accept every applicant.

Profile:

• High-performing mid-career pros
• Been climbing the ladder for 10-15 years
• Students span industries
• Typical level: Director

Lately, something feels "off." Work has become too dominant. They dream of family time, financial freedom, autonomy, and "passion" work.

Feeling "caged," they long to be Uncaged.

Uncaged Academy is not for:

• Fresh college graduates
• Aspiring tech startup founders
• Those seeking a 20% pay increase or VP title

There are plenty of resources for that.

This course is specifically for mid-career high-performers who want to optimize their 9-5 experience while diversifying their career in pursuit of a better lifestyle.

Cohort-Based Courses (CBCs) take the best parts of traditional classroom education and blend them with online classes for a rich experience.

CBCs dial into the human need for community and accountability. We need it, or we don't get sh** done.

Think of snoozy one-way lectures in college 🥱

The cohort approach moves your needle — quickly.

Cohort 2 will run for 8 sessions over 4 weeks. The dates span Monday, October 10th through Friday, November 4th.

We meet on Wednesdays & Fridays, from 12:00-1:30pm ET.

Yes. After teaching these strategies for years, we know they work.

So, if you:

• Attend all live sessions
• Complete all exercises
• Meet 1:1 with Matt

...and you're still not satisfied, then we'll gladly refund your tuition. No questions asked.

All good — the recordings will be uploaded to the community site (Uncaged Club) the same day for viewing. You'll have lifetime access.

We don’t call it "homework" as adults, but there are assignments to help you build your mindset and skillset.

We do 50% of the work in the live sessions (to maximize your time).

The core assignment is building your Freedom Blueprint, which establishes the specifics of the career and life you really want.

Live sessions are on Zoom.

Recordings, session materials, homework folders, chats, and a wide range of valuable resources are hosted on the Uncaged Club:

• It's where the cohort (and broader Uncaged community) hangs out online
• It is a site/app hosted on the Circle platform
• You'll be granted special lifetime access (including iOS app)

• There's a seriousness and energy that comes with this type of price tag — helps ensure the right type of student (and cohort experience)
• This is the only course of its kind
• It produces immense transformative value in a condensed period
• FYI, price will go up in the near future

We have a competitive application process, but I get it, life happens.

You can cancel up to 2 weeks before the course starts for a full refund. A 25% cancellation fee applies up to 1 week before the course start date. We do not offer refunds after that.

If something comes up last minute, you can transfer to a future cohort.

It's quite possible. I suggest you ask.

Despite the "caged" language (meant to strike a chord), I hope they'll see it as a course meant to enhance your well-being, on the job and outside of work.

You can find a funding request email template here to send your employer.

Great question :-)

After years of rat racing, my life came crashing down (work was a primary factor).

I had to rebuild, so I spent 5+ years testing new strategies on how to operate on my own terms within an intense corporate environment.

I've been teaching these career and life "freedom" practices to my clients for years. Their lives are 📈

Let's chat! Book a 15-minute live Q&A session with Matt here.

It'll be fun and helpful, I promise.
