In today’s fast-paced world, it’s easy to get distracted by the urgent and overlook the important. In this episode of The Today Counts Show, we sit down with Matt Martin—author of Notice What Matters—to talk about the discipline of noticing and how it transforms both life and leadership.

Matt shares his personal journey of learning to slow down, pay attention, and identify the moments, values, and priorities that truly shape impact. Together, we explore:

• How leaders can practice the art of noticing to stay grounded and intentional
• Why paying attention to the details creates big influence in relationships and teams
• The connection between noticing and living with clarity, purpose, and joy
• Practical habits to help you focus on what matters most each day

If you’ve ever felt pulled in a hundred directions, this conversation will inspire you to pause, reflect, and lead with greater awareness. Because when you notice what matters, you can live—and lead—with purpose.
