Personal Development and Momentum Coach, Matt Suess, joins Elizabeth and Sheila to discuss how soon and how much personal information should be shared with new acquaintances - romantic, platonic, and professional. In this age of social media and googling, it's challenging to assume the same "air of mystery" as we may have been allowed in the past. Failing to reveal one's true self could be perceived as inauthentic, but sharing too much - and too soon - might also stifle a relationship that might need a little space and time to flourish.
Matt Suess has been a professional photographer and entrepreneur for 35 years, currently as a world travel photographer & educator. Following a failed long-term relationship that ended two years ago, Matt set out on a journey of self discovery & improvement to finally tackle lifelong struggles of shame and avoidance. Reinvention has become his rhythm which has now led to a strong desire to help others get unstuck following his years of personal experience. This year he embarked on a new path as a Personal Development & Momentum Coach, and this summer, he is co-launching a dating podcast Red Flag or Green Flag, Spilling the Tea with Matt & Kelli. Matt is currently based in Bozeman, Montana.
