wandering matt

Author: Matt Larson

With my first book, 4000s by 40, released this fall, I am fulfilling a lifelong dream of writing, and am excited to continue the journey of storytelling with future projects—so much so that the day after I published 4000s by 40, I began my next work. Much of my inspiration comes from nature. My early love for the ocean, found on the South Shore of Massachusetts, has transitioned into a deep passion for the mountains here in New Hampshire, and I wanted to share that with my first book. If you’d like to connect or have any inquiries, you can reach out to me at [email protected]. I’m also on Instagram and Facebook at wanderingmatt8. Happy reading!

They’re BaaaaaaaaAaaaack

I’m really so confused. Wasn’t the talk a few years back that American kids were falling behind a bunch of other countries in academics? Wasn’t that what “common core” was all about? Aren’t we scared that our kids are getting dumber relative to the world, and even more so now that they’ve lost so much…
