Matt Davis

I am friends with Carrie Matthews, and she thinks I would be a great guest for you.

Matt Davis is a transformational law enforcement leader and founder of TrueBold LLC, bringing over 14 years of frontline experience and deep insight into first responder mental health and wellness. Currently serving as a Lieutenant leading more than 50 deputies in Colorado, Matt's distinguished career spans specialized investigations, SWAT crisis negotiation, and collaboration with federal agencies including the DEA, FBI, and U.S. Secret Service.
Matt's journey toward mental health advocacy was forged through personal transformation. After navigating divorce and discontinuing a toxic 20+ year relationship with himself, he discovered the power of vulnerability and authentic leadership. This experience, combined with his law enforcement expertise, uniquely positions him to speak to the mental health challenges facing first responders.
As a keynote speaker and leadership consultant, Matt's signature message "Believe: A Choice of Leadership" emphasizes emotional intelligence, resilience, and building high-trust environments—critical elements for first responder wellness. His mission of "unearthing the true boldness within" resonates deeply with first responders seeking to break through stigma and prioritize their mental health.
Matt holds a Bachelor's degree in Leadership and Organization Studies from the University of Denver and is currently pursuing his Master's in Organizational Leadership. He has been featured on eight podcasts in the past year and engages over 12,000 professionals through LinkedIn with insights on emotional intelligence and resilience.
His authentic approach to discussing mental health struggles, combined with practical leadership frameworks, makes him a powerful voice for destigmatizing mental health conversations within the first responder community.RetryClaude can make mistakes.
