Hello

I'm Matt Candler.

I’ve been in education and learning for 25 years - teacher, principal, CEO coach, investor. I've been riding, building and driving EVs for 17 years. Education + EVs is my jam.

Q: Why trust me on this topic?

I’m a veteran educator. More than 9 million families have been served by schools and learning tools I’ve helped clever people build over the last 25 years. I dig helping people learn new things. I’m an electric vehicle designer. Building EVs gives me unique insight into how they impact your daily life, especially how to take care of the big battery inside. Here’s a bike The Walking Dead’s Norman Reedus tested on his show, The Ride. Night Shift Bikes I’m a negotiations nerd. I sent the salesman to the manager’s office 5 times before I closed the deal on my first car at 16. I won negotiating awards in business school and taught 100s of entrepreneurs how to negotiate. Helping drivers communicate effectively with dealers is a passion of mine.
