Since moving to Australia from a third world communist country, Matyas managed to take the leap of faith from working full-time and start his own business running automotive events, becoming the leader in this field in Queensland, Australia. He recently started a new project helping people take their own leap!
Best known for founding DownshiftAus.com, Matyus lead the development of Downshift as a brand from a tiny blog, to the largest automotive community in Queensland, Australia and indeed one of the largest in the country.
Now founder of 9-5 Escape, Matyas is encouraging entrepreneurs & business founders to incorporate the wild adventure of a motorbike tour through Asia, as well as meeting and getting to know fellow entrepreneurs from many different walks of life and varying experiences and skills. 50/50 fun and work!

It’s always interesting -and inspiring- to listen to someone who went from zero to hero. I find it very uplifting. However, a minimum of luck needs also to be present at times. I know quite a few people with great ideas and energy who failed to succeed due to sheer bad luck.
Matyas community is definitely the way to go these days. Networking and community building is definitely the best way to gain authority.
Thanks for the interview … eventhouh, just like you, I’m not into motorbikes at all. 🙂
