I founded Reality Capture Network (RCN) to spotlight the people, stories, and breakthroughs shaping the future. We connect leaders, creators, creatives, innovators, and builders through interviews, conference stages, networking events, and an online community.

I also host "The Matthew Byrd Podcast" to share stories of those who push boundaries, embrace innovation, and strive for excellence. I sit down with disruptors, innovators, and lifelong learners across multiple industries, from reality capture and emerging tech to entrepreneurship, branding, and personal growth. In every conversation, we break down the mindsets, habits, and lessons behind the journey. If you’re driven to evolve, think bigger, and shape the future, let’s learn together from the journey of others.

I believe in thinking differently, embracing failure, and taking bold steps forward. 
Growth doesn’t come from staying comfortable.. it comes from trying new things, challenging the status quo, and committing to lifelong learning!

Let’s connect if you’re
-Exploring emerging tech (Reality Capture, XR, AI, Digital Twin, etc)
-Interested in Authority through Branding, Content, Marketing, Strategy
-Want to become an "Thought Leader" in your niche
-Looking for growth guidance, advisory, mentorship 
-Or because you simply see interest in connecting for another reason! :)

Most people think "building authority" means "being louder"...
It doesn’t... But here's what it DOES look like👇 

It means being clear. 
Clear on who you help.
Clear on what you believe.
Clear on the space you want to be known in.

Authority isn’t built by trying to impress everyone.
It’s built by becoming useful to a specific group of people.

Here’s what consistently works, regardless of platform or industry...

---> Choose a lane on purpose (what you want to be known for)
Ask yourself “What do people come to me for when this topic comes up?”
Teach what you’re already living
You don’t need to be the top expert in the world.
You just need to be one step ahead and willing to explain it clearly.

Turn experience into frameworks
People remember structure.
They share clarity.
Frameworks turn knowledge into something others can apply.

Show the work, not just the opinions
Share the process, the lessons, the mistakes.

Authority grows when people see how you think.

This is the direction I’m leaning into more this year...
I want to help more people,
• Find the niche they actually care about
• Build a clear point of view and positioning they believe in
• Communicate with confidence in their own voice
• Become known in their industry or niche
• Build authority that changes their future path

If you’re trying to build authority in your work or career this year, share a comment below and describe your focus area in five words or less...

😬 (Most people won't comment... some will want too, but aren't sure what to say, or are afraid of what others will think of their share... This is step one in overcoming what's holding you back... If this is you, just share! It's my goal to encourage more of you to push forward!)

I would love to know who else is thinking about this, and I'd like to follow your journey ahead. (It's great aligning with likeminded people on a similar mission!)

John Klymshyn

In this episode on The Matthew Byrd Podcast, I sit down with Devyn Korber, a former wildland firefighter turned startup founder, to unpack how real careers and companies actually get built.

Devyn didn’t follow a traditional path. No perfectly mapped plan. No polished resume. What he had was lived experience, curiosity, and the willingness to ask before he felt ready.

We talk about how his time working in wildland fire exposed a massive gap in how contract firefighting crews are accessed, and how that firsthand experience led to building a platform focused on making those resources available when they’re needed most.

We dig into the moments that changed his trajectory… printing resumes to hand out at a conference (R-CON), asking for access instead of waiting for permission, building visibility in a small niche, and why “the answer is not in the room” when you’re trying to build something real.

Some of the Key Topics we cover include…
 • Why action beats credentials early in your career
 • How lived experience creates better startup ideas
 • The reality of building while still in school and working
 • Why asking opens doors most people never walk through
 • How visibility compounds faster than perfection

If you’re building, learning, or trying to create opportunity instead of waiting for it, this conversation is worth your time!
