Matthew Ferguson AKA "Ace Spaders"

THE PERSON IN YOUR CORNER

Matthew Ferguson.
Known as Ace.

Spending close to two decades being handed things that needed fixing, a guiding hand, or a complete overhaul, Matthew has developed a perspective that allows him to keep moving forward where others would give up.

As a husband, father of three, and business owner, Matthew knows how to ask the right questions, at the right times, and adapt to the needs in front of him.

He doesn’t just see the problems others ignore - he can clearly recognize, or find out, why those problems exist and determine the best way, if not multiple ways, to resolve them.

Speak with him or meet him once, and you’ll most likely walk away with something. Whether it’s a new perspective, a clear mind, some renewed motivation or even actionable steps towards something you’re working on, there is lots he can offer in a short meeting.

Commit to working with him consistently towards a clear goal though, and you have a wealth of knowledge, life experience, connections, and unwavering determination at your disposal.

This is what it means to have an “Ace” up your sleeve.

- T. Queen of Hearts

For Readers

People who spend time around Ace tend to notice that certain things start happening. Not because he is hired for a specific task, but because he notices what others miss, says the things that need saying, and can navigate delicate or stressful situations without causing drama.

When people share something complex they are building with Ace, he has a way of seeing the whole picture without taking it over. He spots the gaps and friction that usually stay invisible, and points out what needs fixing or addressing. The same pattern shows up when growth starts creating more pressure than progress. He offers clear observations and possible next steps so the person in charge can pivot as needed and see the path in front of them.

At times when Ace has been asked to join people in rooms that matter, he’s shown up with the posture and authority the situation requires. Sometimes this has been as a casual observer looking out for things the person is missing, as a respectable guest ensuring conversations are constructive and details are not overlooked, or as a discreet partner representing someone else’s interests in a meeting or negotiation. But regardless of the room or the other people in it, Ace’s focus always stays on the desired outcome, not on making himself the center of attention.

If someone in his network needs to make a decision with incomplete information, Ace has often been asked to go take a look at things for them. This has been both locally and abroad. He travels to the area or site, assesses the actual conditions and reports back so the choice is grounded in reality rather than photos and second-hand accounts.

There is also a quieter side to what he does. People who stay in conversation with him often find their perspective on a specific situation, decision, or long-term pattern begins to shift. Sometimes the shift is one that just needed reinforcing, other times it needed to be identified, but either way, the end result is a positive one. Many times the shift has been in regards to how someone relates to their own health, and Ace simply gave them a better way of seeing and approaching the things they already knew were needed.

Join the growing number of people who have privately benefited from knowing Ace personally.

To meet him for yourself, you can book a Meeting or join one of his Group Activities, but you will get the most from Ace by becoming a member of the Invested Aces Mastermind or through a private one-on-one Commitment. Having personal access to him on an ongoing basis will lead to a more successful and mutually beneficial relationship, because he enjoys helping out those within his circle.

There are also two things Ace has done for himself and others that still remain available:

  • Premium Pickup and Transport with his Cybertruck when the situation calls for something more reliable and with more presence than Uber or Lyft. (For Mastermind Members or as a premium engagement.)
  • Public Speaking on resilience, personal development, the benefits of networking, and, with enough preparation and desire, nearly any topic required. (Premium engagement.)
