Robby Barbaro – CEO, Mastering Diabetes

“Working with Matthew helped me see that connection is the foundation of every healthy system — whether it’s the human body or a business. He has a rare gift for translating science into simple, human practices that changed how I lead, communicate, and care for my team. He showed me that connection isn’t just a personal value; it’s a strategy for sustainable success. By leading with empathy, clarity, and curiosity, our team has become more open, energized, and aligned — and those results show up in everything from collaboration to innovation. At Mastering Diabetes, we now prioritize being connection-led across every layer of our organization. It’s not a concept we talk about — it’s a practice we live every day.”
