6 Things This Book Will Teach You
_edited.png){kind=small}
Define your Purpose Statement
Define your "why" and set the path for your spending, investing, and giving!
Develop Clear Decision-Making Systems
Learn philosophically grounded processes to assess difficult choices related to your mission
Money as a tool to achieve your purpose

Build Your Exclusion & Elevation Screens
Practical tools to filter financial decisions that harm your mission and highlight those that elevate it!
Spot your capital confusion
Recognize where your financial actions don't match your personal beliefs and values.
Recognize your Adversary
There are people and institutions working against your mission. Know who they are and how to actively resist their efforts.
I'm on a mission to help you use your money for good, not harm.
94% of Americans want their financial decisions to reflect their values. This includes individuals and institutions.
However, most people are unwittingly funding the very causes that oppose those values.
This book provides a clear framework to align your financial decisions with your deeply-held values to leave your impact on the world.
What about when our financial decisions create outcomes we didn't intend?
"This is what we call Capital Confusion, that sinking feeling that your resources aren't creating the world you want, but you don't know how to fix it".
Meanwhile, your Adversary is at work building a system that profits every time you fail to align your money with your mission.
Your Solution...

The book offers you a solution: The world's first systematic approach to align every financial decision with your mission.

Every Capital Action (spending, investing, and giving) leads to Capital Outcomes. These outcomes may be receiving an item purchased, enabling a business to grow, or even ending world hunger. However, these outcomes can be shaped when decisions are made based on well-formed Capital Impact Forces.
Praise for PURPOSEDRIVENCAPITAL
& Matt...
"Matt’s book is great! He not only explains why we need to be more purposeful in ensuring our investing aligns with our values, but he also provides a logical framework for execution. I recommend this book to anyone who is committed to their values, it’s ideal for both individuals and institutions."
- Rich Todd, Principal and CEO of Innovest Portfolio Solutions
"Purpose Driven Capital by Matt Johns is a masterclass in aligning money with meaning. This book doesn’t just inspire,it equips. Johns offers a clear framework that turns financial choices into mission-driven impact. His “Purpose Switch” is brilliant: showing how values-based decisions unlock clarity and fulfillment. The exclusions and elevations tools are practical game-changers, and the story of Tom Monaghan shows how wealth, redirected toward mission, can transform lives and build legacy.
What sets this book apart is its relentless focus on human dignity. Johns challenges us not only to avoid harm but to elevate our choices to serve the most vulnerable. The Tim Tebow Foundation’s work with the “MVPs” makes this vision come alive. Whether you steward billions or just a hundred dollars, Johns hands you the tools to align resources with mission. Purpose Driven Capital isn’t just a book, it’s a call to action, a blueprint for turning capital into a force for good."
- Andreas Widmer, Serial Entrepreneur and Founding Director of the Ciocca Center for Principled Entrepreneurship at Catholic University of America
"In this book, Matt strikes at the heart of one of the greatest, most overlooked opportunities: getting people to align their allocation of money with their deeply held beliefs. If the "silent majority" of good people with deeply held and timeless values put their money where their soul is, we'd see the triumph of good over evil on so many fronts. We can no longer separate our profit from our purpose."
- Peter Rex, Founder & CEO of Rex
“Matt has always practiced what he preached and his newest effort: Purpose Driven Capital captures his strategies and the impact of those strategies in a thoughtful and practical way.

- Chris Calvert, Vice President of Business Development at J.M. Arbour Wealth Management and Founder of CCAST Holdings
“In this book, Matt Johns offers something profound—a methodology for building integrity in one’s life by aligning financial decisions with personal or organizational missions.
