Upside/Downside - a podcast about value creation

Matt Cooley

Poor profits or cash flow got you down?

My name is Matt Cooley and value creation has always been central to my career, from start-ups to multi-billion-dollar product lines.  As a finance executive at successful companies, I've noticed a thing or two about what creates versus destroys value.  Join me and my esteemed pals as we explore value creation and share a few laughs here on Upside/Downside.

Follow Upside/Downside on your favorite podcast platform today!

If your organization needs more customized assistance, I can occasionally accommodate limited consulting engagements such as:

-Reviewing business plans

-SWOT analyses

-Hearing your business challenges and discussing possible solutions


100% of revenues earned from consulting engagements are donated to registered charities working to eliminate rural poverty in the United States. 


Contact me on LinkedIn via the link in the upper right corner, or at mattcooley650@gmail.com.


I wish you the best on your value creation journey!
