A podcast by Matt Curle

BYDESIGN

"I interview people who backed themselves, so you don't have to figure it out alone."

Hosted by Matt Curle · Sydney

The Show

For anyone who wants more out of life.

By Design is honest, unscripted conversations with people who backed themselves. Founders, business owners, industry experts and high achievers across business, health and life.

Not the polished version. The moment before the decision. The doubt. The cost. What it actually took to get there.

If you've ever sat on an idea, a decision, or a version of your life you haven't gone after yet, this show is for you.

No scripts. No PR prep. No highlight reels.

Every guest I bring on has made a decision that changed the course of their life. My job is to get to the real version, the moment before it was made, when staying put was still an option. What made you back yourself? What did it cost? That answer is the most useful thing one person can give another.

The Host

Matt Curle.

Matt Curle started his working life as a carpenter building luxury homes across Sydney, always more curious about the people who commissioned them than the work itself. That question, how did you get here and what did it cost you, never left him.

It led him from the tools into finance, where he now works as a mortgage broker at Shore Financial. Self employed since nineteen. Two industries built from scratch. Young dad.

He knows what it costs to wait, and what it takes to finally start.
