The Don’t Act Right Project was born from a simple truth: Some people follow the roadmap, while others build theirs from scratch.
The vision of Matt Mahoney, whose path through entrepreneurship carried him through dark loniness, hardship, success, selfawareness, failure, and homelessness — emerging with a purpose: to give others the support he never had.
DAR is for the creators, entrepreneurs, outsiders, and risk-takers who chased a vision no one else could see—who rode every high, survived every low. These people didn’t just dream, they did it, and through DAR, we build collaborations. share others journeys—how they built it, what they learned, what they gained, and the resilience it took to turn a wild idea, into real life.
The purpose:
Create connections between those finding peace, purpose & walking unconventional paths.
Create a community, featuring stories, collaborations, and resources that help people execute their visions — loudly.
Here we can build a community and platform where real experiences of resilience, creativity, and mental health come together. Through blogs, videos, and live events, we’re creating a space where being different isn’t something to hide — it’s something to celebrate.
