The Mattering Revolution | You Matter. Live Like It.

Why the Mattering Revolution Exists

Too many extraordinary people feel invisible. They’re working hard, yet inside they’re exhausted, disconnected, and wondering if what they do really matters.

We live in a world filled with noise, distraction, and disconnection. Burnout is rampant. Apathy in relationships is growing. And far too many people feel forgotten.

The Mattering Revolution is our answer — a call to reclaim worth, purpose, and belonging.

Often described as the “You Matter Movement,” this revolution challenges the culture of “never enough” and replaces it with a simple yet profound truth:

You Matter. Live Like It.

Start Mattering is more than an apparel brand. It’s a movement that fuels intentional living and daily reminders of your worth. Every hoodie, tee, and hat is designed to spark courage, belonging, and impact — because when you live like you matter, you create ripples of change that extend far beyond yourself.

Burnout, Disconnection, and Why We Feel Invisible

Challenges We All Face: External, Internal, Cultural

  • External: Overwhelm in the workplace, endless to-do lists, and the culture of hustle.

  • Internal: Feeling unseen, undervalued, or stuck despite doing “everything right.”

  • Cultural: A society that too often forgets the basic truth — everyone deserves to know their life matters.

The Passion Struck Mission: Reclaiming Worth and Purpose

Founded by John R. Miles — Author, Podcast Host, Speaker

I’m John R. Miles — founder of Passion Struck, host of the #1 Alternative Health Podcast, and author of the award-winning book Passion Struck.

After years in global leadership, I saw a silent crisis: people everywhere drifting through life, outwardly successful yet deeply unfulfilled. I know that pain — and I built Passion Struck to change it.

The Mattering Revolution is how we do it. Through the Passion Struck Podcast Network, Passion Struck Speakers, Passion Struck Live events, and Start Mattering apparel, we’re helping millions rediscover their worth.

Our Core Beliefs: Belonging, Courage, and Impact

The Revolution is built on three commitments:

  • Belonging: Every person deserves to feel seen, valued, and significant.

  • Courage: Living intentionally requires bold choices — to grow, to speak, to lead.

  • Impact: Small actions create ripples of change that extend far beyond ourselves.

When you wear Start Mattering clothing, you’re not just choosing a style. You’re choosing to embody these commitments every day.

Symbols of the Mattering Revolution: Fingerprint, Fire, Ripple

Every design carries one of our three icons — a visual language of mattering:

🌀 Fingerprint (Uniqueness): Your life leaves an irreplaceable mark.
🔥 Fire (Transformation): The courage to spark growth and ignite change.
🌊 Ripple (Legacy): Proof that even the smallest actions create waves of impact.

These symbols make every hoodie, t-shirt, and hat more than apparel — they’re daily reminders of who you are and what you stand for. That’s why every Start Mattering hoodie, t-shirt, and hat carries one of these symbols — reminders to live intentionally.

You Matter, Luma — The Children’s Book of the Mattering Revolution

The Mattering Revolution isn’t just for adults — it’s for the next generation too. That’s why John R. Miles, founder of Passion Struck and author of the bestselling Passion Struck, has created a new children’s book:

Cover of “You Matter, Luma,” a children’s book by John R. Miles teaching kids about belonging and purpose, releasing December 2, 2025.

You Matter, Luma (Releasing December 2, 2025)

This beautifully illustrated story introduces children to the truth at the heart of our movement: that their voice, presence, and choices matter. Through the adventures of Luma the rabbit, kids learn about belonging, courage, and the ripple effect of their actions.

Just as our apparel reminds you daily that You Matter. Live Like It, this book helps families pass that message on to their children — building a culture of worth, purpose, and intentional living from the very start.

What Happens If We Don’t Change

The Cost of Staying Invisible

  • If nothing changes: Disconnection deepens, burnout spreads, and another day is lost to invisibility.

  • If you join the revolution, you reclaim your spark, rediscover belonging, and create ripples of change that extend far beyond yourself.

The Future We’re Building: A World Where Everyone Matters

Imagine a world where every person knows they matter — at work, at home, and in community. A world where belonging, courage, and impact replace burnout, apathy, and invisibility.

That’s the Mattering Revolution.
And it starts with you.
