Becoming EPIC

How Excellence, Perception, Inspiration, and Compassion Can Be a Remedy for Mediocrity

Becoming EPIC is not the job of giants; it is in the details and decisions each of us must face every day. 

In a complex world where challenges seem to multiply every day, how do you rise above and thrive rather than stay mired in mediocrity? Dr. Matthew Kutz provides the road map for achieving lasting success and fulfillment in the four EPIC principles:  Excellence, Perception, Inspiration, and Compassion.

Drawing on cutting-edge research, personal experiences, and powerful examples, Kutz guides you through actionable steps to integrate these four pillars into all aspects of your life. Whether you want to excel in your career, become a better leader, build deeper relationships, or motivate others, Becoming EPIC offers practical tools and wisdom to help you stay aligned with your goals, overcome setbacks, and become the best version of yourself.

Like David in the Old Testament—the ultimate underdog—we are flawed. But if we choose to recognize our faults and challenge ourselves to grow and change, we too have the potential to live an epic story that celebrates humility, determination, and purpose no matter what obstacles the world throws at us. 

With poignant insights from leaders, innovators, and everyday heroes, this book shows how embodying EPIC values can lead to a life of purpose, resilience, and meaningful impact. Prepare to embark on a journey of transformation that will unlock your full potential and empower you to lead a life grounded in personal growth and success.
