Two brothers holding a surfboard over their heads on a beach boardwalk, one in a red bREAL tee

Our Story

It started on a youth soccer field with a fatherless boy who approached Matty P. to thank him for “believing in me.”

This inspired us to do our part to make the world a better place.

People lost human connection

Matt's been called Mr. Enthusiasm his whole life. So he and his son Nicholas decided to put the message on a shirt so other people could share the life enthusiasm brings.

Three questions. You already know the answers.

  1. 01

    Do people still say hi in the grocery store?

    Not like they used to.

  2. 02

    Is the country more divided or more united?

    You know.

  3. 03

    Should we be friendlier to each other?

    Obviously.

So let's do something about it. That's the whole idea.

The name is the instructions
