What does it take to build a life that truly makes a difference?

In this exclusive conversation, I sit down with Dr. Bob Wright, a man many consider a living legend in Columbus, Georgia. His journey spans nearly nine decades of leadership, service, business, and historic firsts.

Dr. Wright became Columbus’ first Black city councilman, was one of the earliest Black graduates of The Ohio State University College of Optometry, served in the Reagan Administration, helped lead the effort that resulted in the Smithsonian’s National Museum of African American History and Culture, and founded Dimensions International, a company that grew into a global government contractor before being acquired by Honeywell.

But this conversation goes far beyond a résumé.

We discuss:

* The leadership principles that shaped his life
* Building meaningful relationships that last a lifetime
* The lessons every entrepreneur should know
* Why character matters more than talent
* His thoughts on business, public service, and legacy
* His friendship with former Columbus Mayor J.R. Allen
* Witnessing Isaiah Hugley become Columbus’s first elected Black mayor
* The importance of generosity in a world focused on self-promotion
* And the one piece of advice he would give his younger self

Whether you’re an entrepreneur, a leader, someone passionate about serving your community, or simply looking for timeless wisdom, this conversation is filled with lessons that can impact every stage of life.

Have you ever asked God, “What am I supposed to do with my life?” You’re not alone.

In this episode, we explore why discovering your purpose isn’t about waiting for a perfect plan—it’s about taking the next faithful step. You’ll learn how God often reveals your calling through your passions, burdens, gifts, and everyday acts of obedience.

We’ll discuss:

* Why your calling leaves clues.
* Why obedience comes before clarity.
* How to stop waiting and start moving.
* Why “subtraction” may actually be God’s preparation.
* Practical steps you can take this week to begin walking in your purpose.

If you’ve been feeling stuck, uncertain, or wondering what God has called you to do, this conversation is for you.

Remember: You don’t need the entire blueprint—you just need the courage to take the next step.

What if the challenges you’ve been carrying aren’t signs that you’re failing but signs that your brain simply works differently?

In this episode of A Conversation with Matthew, I sit down with behavior therapist Roby Murphy for an eye-opening conversation about ADHD, men’s mental health, community, and the importance of belonging.

Roby shares why so many high-performing adults silently struggle, how ADHD often goes undiagnosed well into adulthood, why loneliness has become so common, and what practical steps people can take to build healthier lives and stronger relationships.

This isn’t just a conversation about mental health—it’s a conversation about understanding yourself.

* ADHD in adults
* High-performing adults and burnout
* Men’s mental health
