Meet Matt. He’s a thirty-something gent from Brisbane. Born and raised in the sunny Queensland capital, he likes to spend his spare time outdoors at the beach or park with his Fiancée and their pooch, Frankie.

For as long as he can remember, Matt has carried a deep desire to make a positive difference with his life in the lives of those around him. He volunteered for many years in his late teens and twenties, working with primary-school and high-school aged outreach and education programs.

Matt’s a qualified Electrician and it is evident from his working in many aspects of the electrical and building industries over the last 15+ years, that he not only enjoys creating with his hands, but literally lighting-up other people’s lives. As an innovator from a young age, Matt is constantly looking for better, more effective ways to accomplish a task and he’s often heard commenting, ‘There’s gotta be a better way we can do this.’

When offered the opportunity to step up as a leader in Speakers Tribe he saw it as not only an amazing opportunity to grow personally by being in the proximity of incredible leaders, speakers, like-minded people and atmosphere but as a new chance to serve those that he strives to be more like … People choosing to Make a Difference.

Luke Vandepeer, the son of a blind farmer and his South African wife, is the true farmers son with no desire to follow in his father’s footsteps. After growing up in South Australia Luke has lived in every state of Australia and has worked in 5 different industries. It wasn’t until he found his passion for sharing knowledge in the health space that he has felt at home. A recent convert to the lifestyle of Brisbane he enjoys a parkrun on Saturday mornings and you will often find him at the local farmers market.

 

After years of experience as a personal trainer Luke became disillusioned with the Health and Fitness industry due to the ‘noise’ of so many options out there. When he discovered the Heal Thy Self movement his passion for health was reignited and so he is now advocating that at its essence the human body knows what it needs to be healthy. Having taken some lessons from the past he is now sharing what some would call an old way of improving ones health.
