Relationships & How They Led to An Epic East Coast Excursion & a Book Deal

In this shorter solo episode, Matt riffs on relationships, which sometimes start as work-related and then become friendships... and other times start as friendships and then become work-related... and how they had a huge impact on his past week's trip to the East Coast.  And, in general, on his life since 10,000 "No"s was launched.  Particularly in the past few months, including a forthcoming book deal with Wiley & Sons publishing, which will be an off-shoot of the podcast examining its principles through the lens of the ups and downs of Matt's journey as an actor.   SHOW NOTES: The power of relationships, (1:54).
