He pointed me to Proverbs 27:17 (NIV) which says, "As iron sharpens iron, so one person sharpens another." i felt inspired.  a week or so later, I read Isaiah 54:16 (NIV) which reads, "it is I who created the blacksmith who fans the coals into flame and forges a weapon fit for its work." at this point, the imagery of a forge was a winning *mental model* on my road ahead; i was already being shaped by the heat, pressure and purpose of my weight loss journey. so, i wanted to continue documenting the process, having conversations, and sharing tools and resources that became critical to forging Matt.  ![Our values](https://7528315.fs1.hubspotusercontent-na1.net/hub/7528315/hubfs/raw_assets/public/mV0_d-cms-growth-theme_hubspot/growth/images/industry-images/company-two.jpg?width=500&height=300&name=company-two.jpg "Our values") - ![Company](https://7528309.fs1.hubspotusercontent-na1.net/hub/7528309/hubfs/raw_assets/public/mV0_d-cms-growth-theme_hubspot/growth/images/industry-images/about-gallery-one.jpg?) - ![Company](https://7528304.fs1.hubspotusercontent-na1.net/hub/7528304/hubfs/raw_assets/public/mV0_d-cms-growth-theme_hubspot/growth/images/industry-images/about-gallery-two.jpg?) - ![Company](https://7528311.fs1.hubspotusercontent-na1.net/hub/7528311/hubfs/raw_assets/public/mV0_d-cms-growth-theme_hubspot/growth/images/industry-images/about-gallery-three.jpg?) - ![Company](https://7528309.fs1.hubspotusercontent-na1.net/hub/7528309/hubfs/raw_assets/public/mV0_d-cms-growth-theme_hubspot/growth/images/industry-images/about-gallery-four.jpg?) ## Our team Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipiscing elit. ![Louise Patton](https://7528315.fs1.hubspotusercontent-na1.net/hub/7528315/hubfs/raw_assets/public/mV0_d-cms-growth-theme_hubspot/growth/images/industry-images/employee-one.jpg?width=300&height=300&name=employee-one.jpg "Louise Patton") ### Louise Patton #### CEO and Founder Highlight your team member's unique expertise, experience, and interests.
