Welcome, I'm Matt Landau!

And as a performance-minded entrepreneur I eventually arrived at a limit: I wanted to unlock my next phase of growth, but I had no idea what it would look like...

Lack of Creative Possibilities

The symptoms felt like being stuck. Writer's block combined with burnout combined with indecision where passion and excitement used to flow. Perfectionism and control were limiting my possibilities...according to a German friend, I couldn't see the forest through the trees🌲🌲👀🌲 

Old

So I Took A Big Leap...

And doubled-down on becoming a more creative leader thus entering into the great unknown. Here Goes Nothin! Soon after my leap I began to have a sequence of experiences so exciting, inspiring, bizarre, suspenseful, and rejuvenating that I couldn't NOT share them here with my peers in the form of collaborative services 🔮 

"Matt's call for human connection is speaking to the feelings of emptiness that many feel within: an alienation from our business. His insights and deep concerns apply to the human quality of our experiences."

"I feel like I've taken a magical drug that I don't want to wear off. Things I look at are clearer. The way I articulate myself feels more authentic. I finally understand the statement that once you move forward you can't go back. I was afraid of that concept but now I'm embracing it."

A Magical Drug

“From Here Goes Nothin I feel like I’ve taken a magical drug that I don’t want to wear off. Things I look at are clearer. The way I articulate myself feels more authentic. I finally understand the statement that once you move forward you can’t go back. I was initially afraid of that concept but now I’m embracing it.”

"Real" Learning

"This is real learning. Like a detox from all the noise and broken patterns. It’s less like a business retreat to plan where you’re going next and more about going inwards and figuring out who you are.”

Mind-Blowing

“The Here Goes Nothin experience was mind-blowing from the moment we stepped into the jungle. It was like walking into the world of Avatar. We worked on our inner and outer realities, enabling me to think outside the box and create a better future for myself and my business. I left with a full and grateful heart, reignited, inspired, and excited for new possibilities coming my way.”

A Shift in My Vibrations

"It was filled with wonder (and some skepticism!) that left me with a list of great ideas and a shift in my vibrations -- the same things I took away from my beloved college-era roundtable philosophy discussions (something I miss terribly!) Needless to say, I loved every minute of it!"

FAQs

Here Goes Nothin' often prompts more questions than it answers. For now, our most frequently asked...
What does Here Goes Nothin' mean?

Here Goes Nothin' (a colloquialism from the American south) is a bold-hearted declaration before stepping into the unknown. It's a moment or a mindset where we choose to double down on ourselves and take a risk. It captures the spirit of leaping before you're ready, guided not by calculated certainty but by faith, instinct, and trust in a higher calling or sense of purpose. Some may think it's shallow but we think it's fun! YOLO! LOL

Why is it our shared ethos?

The phrase Here Goes Nothin’ became the seed of this platform one day in 2023 when Matt stood in front of the mirror, on the verge of a life-altering interview, and whispered it to himself, not as a throwaway line, but as a quiet act of courage. It was a turning point, a personal reckoning, a decision to step into the unknown without guarantees. That simple phrase marked a deeper shift: from playing it safe to embracing creative risk. It was the start of a shared ethos in Matt's life with anyone daring to trust their instincts and leap into the future! 

Who is it designed for?

Here Goes Nothin' is for anyone looking for self-generated change. Entrepreneurs, founders, executives, makers, and creators who want to proactively shift new possibilities in business and life. Our platform is open to any curious leader who is looking to become a more developed human by joining a culture of others doing the same.
