Leading People Forward | Matt Cubbler 002
Personality is an influencer and a powerful leadership tool. It influences the way followers respond to situations, and ripples to how they act toward others. Today, we’re going to unravel with Matt Cubbler what it is like for someone with a strong personality to lead people forward.
“Once I was able to clear my heart and become more in tune with myself, people really tap into that and use my skillset to help other people find success.” – Matt Cubbler
Leading the Way in Service
Matt is dedicated to the selfless service of others. He served four years in the US Army as an intelligence soldier. He also spent 25 years as a veteran law enforcement officer.
In 2009, he stepped into the world of entrepreneurs. He started Maxout, a fitness-based gym and manufacturing business. Now, he is inspiring others to live their very best and to serve others, too.
An Unexpected Career Success
His passion to help others led him to the path of entrepreneurship. A non-conformist by nature, it was surprising how he managed to succeed in an environment that demands a certain degree of agreement.
“I was able to take my leadership skill sets and lead in a way that allows my anti-conformist nature to be strong enough to get other people to buy into my culture.” – Matt Cubbler
He took the initiative of leading others in situations when he was in charge. He led on his own terms, yet still within the realms of his department.
Leadership that Transforms Environments
His mom raised them on her own since their father left when he was 9 months old. He spent a lot of time on his own with an older brother who suffered from autism — the coolest autistic there is in the world to him. This sense of independence formed in him a strong personality and understanding of self.
“If I didn’t believe your talents were enough to get us through, I made sure people know it beforehand and we’ll have a conversation about that.” – Matt Cubbler
He became the kind of leader who would try to get to know his subordinates better. Today, he is on the move also to help young people transform their lives for the better through speaking in schools.

About Jaime Jay
Meet Jaime Jay – a man who wears many hats, and wears them all admirably. He's a master connector, an entrepreneur extraordinaire, and a published author who knows how to get things done.
Before he found his way to the business world, Jaime served his country as a brave paratrooper in the U.S. Army. But that's just the beginning of his many accomplishments.
He's the founder of the renowned Bottleneck Distant Assistant Services firm, and his book "Quit Repeating Yourself" has become a must-read for entrepreneurs everywhere.
When he's not busy building his empire, you can find him on his beloved Harley Davidson, cruising through the countryside and taking in the invigorating effects of Uitwaaien – a Dutch practice that involves facing the wind to boost health and relieve stress.
He enjoys spending his free time outside building stuff with his wife, Nikita the dog and their two kittens (for now at least) Tommy and Tater.
He is ‘over-the-moon’ happily married to his wonderful wife Sara, his amazing daughter, Jessica, who is serving our country as a United States Army soldier. Jaime and Sara are the proud grand parents of two beautiful little girls.
