Let’s take this somehow logically: do you know who Matthew Hussey is? No? OK, then I might give you a few minutes to familiarize yourself with him from his very active Twitter account or from his multiple Youtube videos. All better now? Feeling a tad more informed? We shall proceed then.
My first contact with what he does was through a good friend of mine. She was watching a video which intrigued me. If I remember correctly it was one of his first videos, when he was answering various questions during an event. Curious by nature, I took the decision to look into this very young guru. I did, and soon enough I ended up buying his book.
All of this happened after moving to London, so when I found out there is an opportunity to see him live I didn’t hesitate. I don’t want to put too much of an emphasis on the book, or his videos, as you all can have access to those if you want to. And, of course, if I wouldn’t have liked them, I wouldn’t have went to see him live. Logical stuff, eh?
Now, the actual event gathered quite a number of women. The discovery I’ve made, after being involved in organizing various events up to this point of my life, is that I am very, but very demanding. And, for the first time in a while, I can say I felt that those demands of mine have been fulfilled. Everything moved fast. Even the queuing to get in. Everyone was absolutely lovely. From the ladies helping out, ladies that you could find at quite a distance from the location, ready to guide you through, to the people closest to him like his brother Stephen.
Talking about Stephen, I would want to stop a bit on that point. You see, Matthew has always emphasized what a big role his brother has played in his book. Also, he mentions all the time, including during the event, both Stephen’s and Steve’s (his father) involvement. You see, it’s a sort of family business where everyone helps out somehow. And that I find to be absolutely lovely and think we should all give credit where, when and as often as it’s due. Oh, and apart from the actual Husseys, everyone in their team seemed to feel part of a big happy family. Hard to see it nowadays and should be highly valued when discovered.
When it comes to the actual event, I can in full honesty say it left me with an amazing feeling. “Why?” you might ask. Let’s take it one by one:
The general interaction is fun, relaxed and engaging. It’s the type of event that brings all sorts of women together, all driven by similar goals or curiosities. They are all present all the time. And they are speaking when they have something to say. It’s refreshing. Plus, I got to meet, interact and hug a few very nice people. Seriously now, who doesn’t like that?
Massage, dancing and more dancing! And I love it. I do. I consider dancing one of the easiest forms to relax and have simple good old fun. Apart from working some muscles, which we all should from time to time, everyone feels liberated after a few proper moves. The event offered multiple such moments and everyone enjoyed it fully. And, as I mentioned in a recent tweet, I did kind of dance my way home. Still don’t believe me?
The funny moments. Someone next to me actually said he would make a good comedian. Matt, there’s another possible career path for you, if interested. A few funny moments worth remembering:
- the Mr Grey one – “Who is Mr Grey? 27 year old, entrepreneur, self made, good looking, helicopter, loves sex, billionaire. They had to make him billionaire. Millionaire wasn’t sexy enough. I bet you that the whole 50 shades falls apart if he’s broke.”
- the being easy one – “Generally speaking don’t be easy, but in the first 5 seconds of meeting someone, be easy!”
- the imagination one related a bit to movies, which I loved considering my soft spot for films – “A date is a trailer, not a movie! They always put the best things in the trailer. After a great date you go home and barely know 5% of this guy, but you construct the rest of 95%. Tame that shit!”
Hear, hear!
Got to discover a lot of self related points. He debates happiness and finding what makes you happy. Gives tips on how to engage in conversation. Clear examples too. The phones were out for part of the event as some were captured on the huge screen. He explains the difference between what strength is believed to be and actually is and also gives some levels of value. All these will make you think about your own self-worth. And I think we can all agree that is very good food for thought.Last, but not least, is him, the man standing in front of the huge crowd. Hussey, Matthew Hussey. Iron Man. I was “warned” at the beginning of the day that I will enjoy the event. I didn’t think I will enjoy it as much. The man has an incredible vibe and energy. He jumps around, interacts with the audience, makes faces and voices. He was saying at one point that “this is not about dating but being powerful” and you could see the passion behind that statement. The desire to change something for the better. Matthew is so alive and in the moment that it’s impossible for him not to be inspiring.
I think it’s only fair enough to end the post about his event with a saying from the man himself, one that I really enjoyed: “Let’s say you catch a butterfly. There are three types of people who will treat that situation differently. The first will help it and let the butterfly fly, and so it will. The second will try to catch it and trap it, so the butterfly will fight for its freedom. The third will protect it from the wind and the butterfly will stay because it will see the added value. That, to me, is a relationship.”
