In this episode of That Pivotal Moment of Change, we sit down with Matt Walsh — Founder & CEO of Greenstone and a veteran behind some of the most iconic digital agency work of the last two decades. Matt takes us back to where it all began: sitting at his desk on day one of his UX career, staring at a blank screen, unsure of what to do next — until he simply drew a rectangle and took the first step.

From that moment forward, Matt shares the pivotal decisions that shaped his career — from playing a key role in digital strategy for brands like Nike and Domino’s, to navigating the highs and lows of big agency life, to ultimately leaving it all behind to start his own agency from scratch, in his basement.

This conversation is packed with real, hard-earned lessons on resilience, curiosity, and the courage to reinvent yourself when the road ahead feels uncertain. Whether you're just starting out or a seasoned leader looking for what's next, Matt’s story is a powerful reminder that sometimes, the hardest part is simply getting started.
