Leaders That Lead is not a coaching brand. It's not a course company.
It is the vanguard of a new leadership movement rooted in Arete — the ancient Greek word for excellence in all things.
We believe the future belongs to leaders who are not just productive, but principled.
Not just high-performing, but high-integrity.
Not just scaling their companies — but evolving themselves.
Leadership as a Path of Human Evolution
Our mission is inspired by Heroic's bold goal: helping 51% of humanity flourish by 2051.
Leaders That Lead exists to bring that same sacred commitment into the fabric of business.
We are proud to be the first official Arete Corp (A Corp) — a new kind of business classification built not just on social responsibility (like B Corps), but on virtue, vision, and embodied leadership.
An A Corp commits to:
Embodying Arete (excellence in behavior, contribution, and character)
Training leaders in identity-based leadership
Building internal systems aligned with purpose and nervous system integrity
Serving the mission of human flourishing at scale
This is our north star. And the Leadership Evolution Sprint is how we begin.
The Leadership Evolution Sprint
This is not a theory-heavy course. It's a dojo. A 4-week high-intensity, high-integrity container designed to:
Codify your Leadership Identity
Define your Core Virtues
Design your Operating System
Anchor keystone behaviors and rituals
Build anti-fragile leadership from the inside out
The Curriculum
Week 1: IDENTITY
Craft your future-facing leadership identity and 2-year Intendo Vision
Week 2: VIRTUES
Identify your core virtues and use them as your Leadership Compass
Week 3: BEHAVIORS
Design your structure, eliminate your kryptonite, and install keystone habits
Week 4: INTEGRATION
Recommit, regulate, and embody this identity into your day-to-day leadership
Whether you're a founder, operator, creator, or high-performer at a turning point — this sprint is your initiation into the next level of how you lead and live.
A Path of Transformation — Not Just Productivity
This sprint is for those who've struggled with doubt, fear, inconsistency, or self-sabotage. We believe:
Your shadow holds your gift
Your daily mutations lead to transmutation
Your highest self — your Daimon — is forged through action aligned with values
We call this the Cathedral of Liberation — built brick by brick through daily acts of integrity. Each day, you choose:
🏰 The Cathedral of Liberation (courage, truth, presence)
⛓️ The Prison of Oppression (fear, hesitation, control)
This sprint trains that choice.
Certify as an Arete Corp
The Leadership Sprint is the initiation. But the movement doesn't stop there.
Our vision is to certify companies and leaders as Arete Corps (A Corps) — businesses devoted to human flourishing, embodied leadership, and virtue-based culture.
Certification Requirements:
Completion of core identity-based leadership training
Internalized systems of values, rituals, and behaviors
Company-wide alignment on mission, nervous system integrity, and culture
Ongoing contribution toward the flourishing of people and planet
We envision a world where:
Organizations across every industry embrace virtue-driven leadership as their competitive advantage
Mission-led startups and teams of all sizes align with embodied virtue
Leadership becomes a sacred practice — not just a strategic role
Meet the Founder: Matthew Racz
Hi, I'm Matthew. I've been building and scaling companies for over 14 years.
But what changed everything was not more success. It was learning to evolve myself as a leader.
I became a certified Optimize Coach through Heroic — trained in peak performance, behavioral design, and identity-based leadership.
But more importantly, I've lived this.
I've hit the walls. I've walked through the fires. I've rebuilt myself from the inside out.
And now I help others do the same.
Leaders That Lead is my devotion to building a new era of leaders — not through pressure or perfection, but through values, identity, and embodied service.
