  • Today on the Purposeful Parent Podcast, we are speaking with Matt Beaudreau, Key Note Speaker, Consultant, and Coach to organizations around the world. Matt has a reputation as a provocative thought leader in educational andpersonal development practices.

    In 2017, Matt Beaudreau Founded Acton Academy Placer Schools; schools that utilize the Socratic method, with an emphasis on self-direction and cultivating confident, independent young people with strong sense of character and personal responsibility. He has since helped to open multiple campuses around the world.

    Pulling from his experience in the Acton model, in January of 2021, Matt co-founded Apogee Strong with Tim Kennedy, a mentorship program designed for young men from 12 to 22 to take on challenges presented by men who have come before them, in order to learn to lead. It is a right of passage through mentorship, action, and self-discovery so that young men can become true leaders. This has blossomed into a mission to bring back classic masculinity in the home, and fueled the launch of the Apogee Strong Dads Program in 2023.

    Matt is the founder of the Apogee Strong Foundation, which is a 501(c)3 that provides scholarships for school, experience, camp, and leadership opportunities for young men around the world.

  • Today on the Purposeful Parent Podcast, we are chatting with Nicole Cumberbatch.  Nicole is a proud boy mom on a mission to uplift and empower mothers on their motherhood journey.  Nicole is a corporate VP turned Mompreneur, a published author, a speaker, and host of the podcast the Motherhood Village.  After she had her son, she struggled with career identity, postpartum anxiety, and balancing life with a newborn.  Nicole believes it is important to have open and honest conversations about motherhood and the challenges mothers face, so she started the Motherhood Village.  She believes it takes a village to raise a child, but most importantly, it takes a village to uplift a mother.
