OUR STORY
"Out of the ashes rose...
a smile."
​
The Smileblazer brand was born out of the remarkable journey of its founder, Matthew Goodman. Rising from the depths of personal and professional missteps, Matthew overcame adversity to develop a unique digital marketing perspective that would shift the media and marketing paradigm. His transformative idea began humbly, with a simple realization: to pick up his life and achieve his dreams, he needed to embrace positivity and smile more.
In 2014, Matthew founded Smilocracy alongside his smile partner, the legendary octogenarian Lois Severin. Together, they embarked on a mission to spread the power of smiles one person at a time through their patented smile sticker outreach campaign. Their efforts reached global proportions, with over 100,000 smile stickers shared worldwide. Additionally, they worked closely with the homeless community in St. Louis, providing resources and their positive perspective to empower and inspire individuals to reclaim their lives.
While Smilocracy made a significant impact, Matthew knew he needed an even stronger and more powerful mission to create lasting change. In 2021, inspiration struck again, leading him to conceive the Smileblazer brand and movement. This time the brand was intended to be more cutting-edge so that it would leave an igniting spark on all those it touched.
​
Matthew's insight behind Smileblazer was profound. He recognized that society was marred by darkness, corruption, and immoral principles. To combat this, he believed in shining a light on the darkness, using creativity and innovation to effect positive change. Thus, the Smileblazer brand was born.

With a vision to illuminate every aspect of society and industries tainted by corruption, Matthew decided to begin with healthcare. Collaborating with his brother, renowned oncologist and social media influencer Aaron Goodman MD (aka Papa Heme), Matthew is in the process of helping launch Common Sense Oncology—a movement in cancer patient care. Through Smileblazer Media Group, his digital agency, Matthew is helping the organization communicate its vision across the digital space. advocating for more affordable, accessible, and evidence-based cancer care. He is currently working on the website and the organization is planning to officially launch soon.
Inspired by his brother Aaron and his passion for plant-based medicine, he realized that healthcare reform had to be taken to a whole new level. With that, Smileblazer Medicine Group emerged. Centered around healing through the guidance and healing properties of plants, Matthew is in the process of gathering a remarkable team of medical marijuana chemists, growers, medical experts, legal masterminds, and marketing wizards. Together, they are working to create a powerful collective brand and a sales and marketing platform that empowers and unites small growers, tearing down barriers to entry in the legal cannabis market. Through streamlined market efficiencies and scalability, they hope to enable these growers to bring their products to market.
The result of this vision is unveiled within these pages, but the journey has only just begun. Smileblazer Medicine Group has plans to expand into every facet of holistic and plant-based healing. Exciting initiatives and ideas await, and the organization is eager to share them with the world.
