Matthew Hutcheson Honored with 2025 Brainz Magazine CREA Global Award
Boise, Idaho — Matthew Hutcheson, noted leadership philosopher, author, and creator of the E.P.I.C. Defeat the Defeat™ framework, has been named a recipient of the 2025 CREA Global Award presented by Brainz Magazine.
The prestigious CREA Global Award is awarded to individuals who have demonstrated exceptional creativity, visionary thinking, and innovative contributions in business, leadership, and personal development. This year’s honorees represent some of the world’s most impactful thought leaders and changemakers across a range of industries.
Hutcheson, a former advisor to two White Houses and both Houses of Congress, was recognized for his groundbreaking work in ethos-based leadership, emotional resilience, and the psychology of rapport and influence. His most recent book, Rapport: The Science of Human Connection, has earned acclaim for reframing human interaction as a leadership imperative, not just a social skill.
“This award affirms what I’ve always taught: that real success is not a matter of ambition, but of aspiration—aspiration to serve, to elevate, and to leave people stronger than you found them.”
— Matthew Hutcheson
In addition to authoring thirteen books and lecturing at universities, Hutcheson is the developer of The Philosophy of Hutch™, a leadership framework rooted in authenticity, emotional safety, and strategic influence. He has been praised for his ability to teach not just how to lead, but how to be someone others want to follow.
