Matt is an incredibly dynamic broadcaster and interviewer, and he has a genuine passion for the significant benefits that LEAN principles offer to both business and social process improvements. It was truly humbling to have the opportunity to contribute to his outstanding podcast. I was impressed by his remarkable talent for making interviewees feel at ease, and it was indeed a pleasure to be a part of his excellent podcast. I highly recommend giving it a listen, as it not only showcases real-life examples of how LEAN truly makes a difference but also explores the remarkable impact it has across a diverse range of industries and lifestyles.

I thoroughly enjoyed working with Matt on an episode of the Ever So Lean podcast. It was great to share insights and I can recommend him as not only an expert in his field but an accomplished communicator.
Mark Gallagher - CEO Performance Insights Ltd
Matt is an amazing podcaster and speaker. When my book was published, I recorded many podcasts with a multitude of hosts. Matt stood out as one of the top podcasters that I spoke with. He was engaging and showed a true interest in my book, as well as a deep understanding of lean—both in a hands-on practical sense, and in a theoretical sense. I have recommended his podcast to a number of people, and always get the comment back that they were sorry when the hour-long podcast ended! Along with all of that, Matt is a pleasure to be with, and is a genuinely good person.

I have had the distinct pleasure of engaging with Matt Sims's work both through his insightful podcast, Ever-So-Lean, and more recently, as a speaker at the Leadership Deployment Event we hosted at Luminate Education Group. Since I started listening to his podcast, I have found it to be an invaluable resource in my journey as a change and continuous improvement practitioner.
Matt's ability to captivate and educate his audience is exceptional. Whether he is hosting his podcast or presenting at a conference, his style is consistently engaging, passionate and seemingly effortless. This approach not only makes complex topics accessible but also deeply resonant. At our recent event, Matt masterfully connected with the audience, delivering insights that were both thought-provoking and immediately applicable.
What sets Matt apart is his unique blend of authenticity and expertise. His presentations go beyond mere information sharing; they inspire and provoke meaningful change. This rare quality has made a significant impact on my professional development and, undoubtedly, on that of many others.

Matt spoke at our annual Continuous Improvement event, outlining his 5 step plan to making an impact using LEAN. He is one of the most engaging speakers. I watched as the audience leant-in as he spoke, all captivated by his enthusiastic delivery style.
I recommend listening to his Ever-So-Lean podcast, spreading the word globally of the benefits in embracing a continuous improvement / operational excellence ethos and culture. I can’t recommend Matt highly enough and firmly believe he’d bring a sprinkle of magic to any endeavour.
Jayne Price - Head of Continuous Improvement STFC RAL Space
What a joy it was to be asked to go on Matt's fantastic podcast! He brought an energy and professionalism to the subject matter that was second to none.
It's clear to me that Matt is on a mission to take a unique perspective of Lean to the masses and personally, I'd do anything I could to help him achieve that very important goal.
From a Lean perspective, I thought Matt's podcast itself had a very clear process , from planning the flow, preparing the potential questions, checklist for the equipment and environment, it set the whole endeavour up to be a success. That plus the post production promotion of the podcast certainly made sure that it had an impact.
I'm looking forward to working some more with him!
