Matthew Hanover

Matt Hanover spent 30 years inside some of the most demanding organizations in media and tech — Amazon, Yahoo, DIRECTV, Turner — and somewhere along the way, he got obsessed with a different kind of problem.

Not strategy. Not scale. But what actually happens when people feel genuinely free to create.

He's a lifelong magician. An abstract painter. Someone who has spent decades paying attention to how a small shift in context can completely change how a person — or a room full of people — shows up.

Present Wonders grew out of all of that. It's not a painting class. It's an experience designed to get you out of your head and into something you didn't know you had access to.

Matt holds a master's degree in Consciousness, Health, and Spiritual Psychology. But more importantly, he's been in the room with enough stressed, skeptical, high-functioning people to know: the ones who think they're not creative are usually the most surprised.
