We’re all on this misfit adventure together, and we invite you to be part of the beautiful chaos.
Which I suppose brings you to me…
I AM TURNDOG!
or as my mother calls me, Matthew.
. . . a writer, storyteller, father, and guy striving
towards my own definition of freedom and success.

Introducing The WHO
I am Matthew Turner (aka: Turndog), and I’m a Storytelling fiend who enjoys a rich cup of black coffee. First and foremost, I’m a father, and everything I do is dedicated my blossoming family. This is what motivates me, so when I talk about WHO I am, it’s important to focus on this before everything else.
Beyond that, I’m a writer. In my eyes, everything is a story. We trust stories. As a species we’ve evolved the way we have because of stories. We feel them… deeply.
This is my gift to the world. The topics may change and the books may differ, but storytelling remains my constant throughout.
But why… WHY am I on this misfit adventure of words?
Introducing The WHY
listen to my definition of Success, Freedom & Happiness

As you now know, I love Storytelling; it’s what drives me. I believe stories connect people with one another, and as a species we trust them. So if you take a storytelling approach to everything you do, I believe you form deeper connections with those around you (your audience, friends, family, peers). This leads to something beutiful, which is…

As a person, I choose the type of Experience I take people on. Be it through a book, a sequence of emails, a talk on stage, or connecting with them at an event… it’s up to me to decide what I want them to take from it. Experience acts as the sounding board to everything. Achieve this and it all clicks into place, but before this I must first embrace…

I’m a vulnerable human full of fears, flaws, and failures. The very idea of Transparency frightens me, but I believe it’s the only way to create a truly meaningful experience. Transparency forces me to share, and communicate in a real and raw fashion. It’s hard, but transparency allows me to invite something beautiful into my world…

What the hell is life if it doesn’t focus around Progression. As someone who embraces mistakes and failures, I open my eyes to learning each and every day. But learning alone means nothing if you don’t apply what you’re taught. Such application leads to progression, and if I continue to make progress each day (in life and business), this leads to…

Everything I do is designed to take me closer to my version of Success (listen to what this is above). What this means to me may differ to what it means for you, and this is the point. Success is a personal pursuit that has to make sense to you. I know what I’m striding towards, and everything I do during my daily-day edges me ever close to MY promised land.
So… WHAT exactly is it that I do?
I have a few novels to my name, and can lay claim to a non-fiction book or two, too. But again, story is what fuels me, which is why I’m currently writing an entrepreneurial novel for millennial entrepreneurs.
If this piques your interest, you may like to head to my blog where I write more about this (and the various aspects of life that inspired this book), or better yet sign-up to my daily email where I immerse you further.
This whole project is my grandest and most exciting yet. So I implore you to check it out and see if it’s a book you would like to read 😉
And that’s it.
This is what I bring to the world.
This is all I have to offer.
This is how I serve YOU.
I like to think I’m pretty cool and spiffy.
But hey… don’t take my word for it:

What do you say…
Fancy joining this rabble rousing adventure?
