The establishment of a much-needed product or service could be sparked by brainstorming and strategically thinking of its conception. But in other industry powerhouses, what can jumpstart a venture are realizations that come while one is struggling with personal hardships. Such is the case with Matt West, who stands at the helm of Boom. This digital wellness company offers guided mindful journaling training and helps users in utilizing mindfulness to promote wellbeing.
Born in Northridge, California, Matt West was inspired by his psychology teacher, Mr. Prince, back in junior high school to explore the field and delve into the fascinating attempt of understanding the limitless potential of the human brain and what fuels people’s actions. His journey involved obtaining two Master’s degrees in psychology from Pepperdine University and Cal State Northridge by the age of twenty-four, getting married at the age of thirty, making six figures. But four months shy of his 35th birthday, Matt West realized that he was merely coasting along through life.
In 2018, after a series of significant life events, he decided to exercise more control of his life and pay attention to his emotional, physical, and mental wellbeing. From improving his eating and sleeping habits to establishing a proper sleep schedule, Matt West practiced self-care strategies, only to contend with the distraction that comes packaged with social media.
It was his foray into mindfulness journaling that made the difference for Matt West. And after substantial work on building emotionally healthy habits, this wellness authority eventually built the wellbeing tech-focused startup called Boom.
