  • Good Surprises Happen Too
    Nov 4 2024

    Today’s episode was ripped directly from one of our 10,000 NOs Insiders Acting Community weekly zooms where Matt addresses the challenges that face our members. Today, we discuss the stoic philosophy of keeping death in mind so that we live each day to its fullest and avoid being surprised when death comes our way. But we also talk about the fact that good things can come our way too, citing examples of people in Hollywood who had careers that took sharp turns toward success. Matt poses the question, “if good surprises happen to people every day, why can’t they happen for you?”

    Oct 28 2024

    Today’s episode was ripped directly from one of our 10,000 NOs Insiders Acting Community weekly zooms where Matt addresses the challenges that face our members. Today, Matt shares some of the inspiration he received from a podcast that he has become obsessed with: Founders. Drawing from stories of great filmmakers, entrepreneurs and athletes, Matt discusses the parallels between the attributes of those who have achieved greatness in other fields with the attributes required for success as an actor, writer or filmmaker. Success leaves clues. Ultimately, it comes down to what you want: to forge your own path and attempt to create your own destiny or follow a beaten path, that requires less responsibility in comparison, by working for someone else.
