S12e1: Matt Brannagan - Our New CEO for Hoffman 3.0

Описание: "By doing this work, we know there's something powerful about how the human heart opens in the presence of other open-hearted humans." - Matt Brannagan, CEO, Hoffman Institute Foundation

We open season 12 of The Hoffman Podcast with Matt Brannagan, Hoffman Process teacher and Hoffman Institute's new CEO. In conversation with Drew, Matt reflects on this moment of transition and the thoughtful leadership handoff shaped by Raz and Liza Ingrasci. Their generosity, wisdom, and long-term vision laid the foundation for what Matt begins to describe as "Hoffman 3.0." It's an evolution rooted in continuity, care, and purpose.

Hoffman 1.0 began when Bob Hoffman created the Process and shepherded it through its first iterations, from weekly to a week-long Process. Hoffman 2.0 started with Raz and Liza establishing the Hoffman Institute. They eventually created the non-profit it is today to increase the capacity for more Processes and graduates. Now, with the strong foundation created in the last era, Hoffman 3.0 takes flight.

Matt steps into this role after 18 years with the Hoffman Institute, serving as both teacher and leader across multiple eras of the work. Before Hoffman, Matt served in the military. He deployed to Iraq shortly after completing the Process in 2004. For more than two decades with Hoffman, Matt has lived and honed a life of service and leadership. Currently, he's a doctoral candidate pursuing a Ph.D. in Clinical Psychology. Matt brings a steady, embodied presence to this new Hoffman era.

We hope you enjoy this conversation with Matt and Drew, our first of this new season. We have many great guests ahead that we know you'll love.

Setting an important context:

We offer this context to help frame the conversation you’re about to hear. In this episode, Drew and Matt discuss the legacy of Raz Ingrasci, founder of the Hoffman Institute Foundation. We recorded this conversation on December 19. With great sadness, we share that Raz passed away unexpectedly on December 31. This was the same day he formally stepped back from his day-to-day role at Hoffman, alongside his wife, Liza.
