Episode notes

The author started writing in a journal when he was 14 years old. He kept em for 36 years up to now, and found them again after his death. The theme of green lights came out of that, because that was a central thing that i bet i notised throughout the book. And you talk about converting some pain, sometimes being shut down, into opportunities. You turn them into personal growth and without those, you probably wouldn't have succeeded in the waysthat you have.

Fate is a terrible writer -- and it shouldn’t be the one in the driver’s seat of your life. But there has to be a balance between fate and control, right? Matthew McConaughey’s take on this topic is an inspiring one, and in this week’s interview, he talks about how fate works together with self-determination to help you create the life you really want. He argues that ego is actually a healthy thing and that there is a beautiful balance between freedom and responsibility (in his terms, “giddy-up and innate ability.”) This epic conversation with Don and Matthew will inspire you to learn from your setbacks, take back control of your life, and develop the kind of optimism that will help you succeed.
