Mathew Knowles is a visionary entrepreneur, renowned music executive, and esteemed educator best known for his instrumental role in launching and managing the careers of Destiny's Child and Beyoncé. As a third-generation entrepreneur with a background in corporate diagnostic imaging and technology sales, Mathew's expertise spans talent development, global brand building, and health advocacy. A passionate advocate for wellness and cancer prevention—himself a male breast cancer survivor—he champions early detection and genetic awareness, while consistently empowering others with his decades of experience, adaptability, and commitment to leadership and education. Takeaways: The Power of Passion and Consistency: Mathew credits his enduring success to a relentless passion for his work, emphasizing that passion—paired with strong work ethic and consistency—fuels greatness and allows leaders to stay relevant across changing times and industries. The Importance of Early Detection: Drawing from his cancer survivor journey and background in diagnostic imaging, Mathew underscores the lifesaving value of early health screenings and genetic testing, especially within communities of color, advocating for a proactive approach over a reactive one. Brand Building Beyond the Surface: Mathew details his branding philosophy, explaining that both individuals and businesses must see themselves as brands, and that successful brands convey their value not just through words but through optics, actions, and strategic messaging. Sound Bites: “We are all individually as well as in our corporate careers as well as in entrepreneurship, we are a brand. The moment we walk outside the door, we're messaging to the world.” “Passion and work ethics go together like a glove. When you live your passion, you never work—you work when you have a job.” “Early detection is the key. For something that could take 30 minutes or two hours of your day…it can determine if you're going to be in one of those stages or if you're at risk.” Connect & Discover Mathew : Event Link : Touch4Life Instagram: h ttps://www.instagram.com/mrmathewknowles/?hl=en Website: https://www.mathewknowles.com/ X : h ttps://x.com/mathewknowles?lang=en Facebook : https://www.facebook.com/mrmathewknowles/ 🔥 Ready to Unleash Your Inner Game-Changer? 🔥 Mick Hunt’s brand-new book , How to Be a Good Leader When You’ve Never Had One: The Blueprint for Modern Leadership , is here to light a fire under your ambition and arm you with the real-talk strategies that only Mick delivers. 👉 Grab your copy now and level up your life → Amazon , Barnes & Noble , Books A Million FOLLOW MICK ON: Spotify: MickUnplugged Instagram: h ttps://www.instagram.com/mickunplugged/ Facebook : https://www.facebook.com/mickunplugged/ YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@MickUnpluggedPodcast LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/mickhunt/ Website : https://mickhuntofficial.com/ Apple : MickUnplugged Learn more about your ad choices.
