About Matthew Schutte
Matthew is drawn to complex challenges that include: surfing 50 foot waves at Mavericks, rethinking the role of privacy in a society, architecting a more useful structure for the internet, & guiding enterprise organizations through changes to their structure and processes that will allow them to adapt and thrive in an age of rapid change.
He tends to focus on projects that satisfy two goals:
they feel like they will have a significant impact on the world &
the process of taking them on will be a whole lot of fun
There is a balance, of course. Some activities make more of an impact and others are simply unbridled entertainment. While not sure how much of an impact on the world paddling into a big wave has, but somehow, for that brief moment in time, all of the mental clutter seems to disappear as every ounce of my being becomes focused on making the drop. Plus, facing your own mortality on a somewhat regular basis makes all the heady stuff seem that much less consequential … and thus easy to take on.
