I'm Lee Matthew Jackson
I help SMEs simplify their tech and processes, with the support they need to grow without the stress.
Husband. Dad. Hobby collector. Business juggler. I don’t claim to do it all well 🤪, but I love the messy magic of it all 🥰
80’s baby, family man, podcaster and Disney fan. On any given day, you’ll find me creating content, planning events or writing my next book. Get to know me more:
My story so far
Bullied at school, I was the nerd who taught himself to code in the library. I tanked my exams, found confidence in college, then dropped out to start a business.
The late ’90s were a brilliant time to be a web developer. Local businesses were just discovering the “information superhighway” (aka the internet), and somehow, they trusted a cocky teenager like me to guide them. I carved out a niche building websites for antique shops and helping them sell on eBay.
During that time, I met my future wife — and spent most of my profits trying to impress her. It worked. We’ve been together 23 years.
Fast forward past a failed business and a few IT jobs, I became co-owner of a struggling agency. The recession nearly ended us, but four key questions helped us turn things around. That success eventually led to the creation of Event Engine, now my core focus.
In 2015, I launched Trailblazer FM to support agency owners. It grew into a thriving community and even spawned a live conference. After several incredible years, I wrapped up the podcast to focus on new ways of helping businesses, developing tools, systems, and platforms that simplify operations and support sustainable growth.
That’s the short version of a long story. Want to see what I’m working on today? Explore my current projects below.
