Matthew Meagher is a YouTuber with nearly 3 million followers. For the past nine years, Matt has been posting high quality content playing popular sports video games. He is an inspiration to me and many other young men because he is able to make a living off of something that he loves to do.
For Matt Meagher, early life was pretty typical. He grew up in the small town of Dewitt, Michigan. Growing up, he loved to play sports. He played everything you could imagine. By the time he entered high school, he had narrowed it down to football, basketball, and track. In those high school years, the sports gaming scene was starting to take flight. Matt became really interested in several games, but one game stuck out. That game was Madden Mobile. The EA football game, Madden, had been released for PlayStations and Xboxes for years prior. The shift from Madden exclusively being available on gaming consoles, to also being available as a mobile app, was a huge generator in sales. Matt Meagher took advantage of this new phenomenon in sports gaming.
Since Matt loved the mobile game and being on camera, he thought he would combine the two. In 2015, when Matt was just a junior in high school, he made his first Madden Mobile gameplay video and posted it to YouTube. He named his channel “MMG” which stood for Madden Mobile Gods. From the start, his videos took off. He very quickly gained a large following which allowed him to expand his content scope. Instead of making exclusively Madden Mobile content, he was able to make Madden console videos as well.
As Matt finished high school and then graduated college at Michigan State, he never stopped making content. To this day, Matt still releases Madden football content. Matt’s consistency of creating content over the last nine years isn’t the only reason he has a large following. Matt was a pioneer for the sports gaming scene on YouTube. He was one of the first to introduce the game of Madden to YouTube.
Matt Meagher is now using his YouTube platform to support his family and give back to his community in Dewitt, Michigan. Matt is living the dream of so many Americans. He has made a comfortable living by doing something he loves.

I personally love the Content Matthew Meagher creates. I used to watch him all the time when I was big into Madden the EA football game. Matt always had a fun and energetic vibe in his videos. Which I believe is a big reason why his channel grew so quick. I think it’s really cool ho Matt now gets to do what he loves every day. He inspires millions of people to chase what you love and keep working at it. Matt always stayed consistent and pushed out content regularly. His audience loves that he is always making new videos. He never took brakes and always made videos for his audience.
