Most people want to do big things or start new hobbies. But when they go to pursue them, they generally underestimate all of the resistance surrounding the pursuit and eventually lose their steam. In this episode, Matt talks about how to feel successful in all areas of your life. Whether it's starting an acting career, a podcast or even becoming a better surfer... or anything else you may want to tackle.

And, two: Are you still willing… do you still want to go after that thing knowing all of those other things that you have to do to get it?", (16:23). How you can help support 10,000 "No"s, (19:00).
