Matt recently edited his first feature film AMERICAN MURDERER, which was written and directed by my second guest, Matthew.

Whether you are a starter or a finisher (as Matt and Matthew call their roles), this conversation is packed with practical tools you can adopt and apply to your journey of making your film idea (or any other creative idea or project you might have) a reality. As both Matt and Matthew share here, so much of your potential success comes down to your mindset as well as your ability to do proper cold outreach.Matt shares the exact processes he continues to use from the Optimizer program that have led to so much of his success (and Matthew shares why he originally made fun of the Optimizer cold outreach formula…and also why he now is a big fan of using it).

In order to “survive” our busy schedules, it seems that we get stuck in a time loop of tasks, interspersed with eating (poorly) and sleeping (not enough). Then we repeat - for decades. But as you’ll learn in my conversation with Laura, there are simple ways we can structure our lives so that we don’t have to choose between reaching our goals and living a present, purposeful life.If you’re ready to stop letting life pass you by with your head down assessing to-do lists, this conversation is a must-listen. Laura shares simple ways in which we can use time tracking and habit formation not only to “get more done” but to make sure we aren’t missing our lives as we strive to reach our goals. I personally found Laura’s advice game changing and can’t wait for you to hear our conversation. Want to Hear More Episodes Like This One?» Click here to subscribe and never miss another episode Here's What You'll Learn:Laura shares her 9 ways to calm the chaos and make time for what matters (that are absolutely game changing)Why avoiding using a “strict” schedule actually sets you up for more success (and how to find that balance)The problem with striving for “work-life balance” and what you should actually be striving for insteadWhat “batching” means and how it is an absolute game changer to your schedule (and sanity)How to build a schedule in such a way that your projects and goals stay on track even when obstacles get in the wayThe difference between daily habits and regular habits (does 3 days a week even count in the eyes of an expert)How to maintain habits without feeding your perfectionism and adding more stress to your lifeHow you can both build and follow daily routines without feeling bored and eventually quittingWhy making more memorable moments can completely change your perception of time (and how you can get started today)The two specific things that keep us addicted to busy-ness and doing too many things, and how we can break that patternUseful Resources Mentioned:The Four Tendencies QuizTranquility by Tuesday: 9 Ways to Calm the Chaos and Make Time for What MattersContinue to Listen & LearnThe Four Tendencies’ (aka ‘The Matrix’ For Understanding Yourself & Others) | with Gretchen RubinThe Zen-like Art of 'Getting Things Done' | with David AllenRedefining What It Means to Be “Productive” (and Aligning Your Values With Your Time) | with Tamara TorresLet’s Stop Talking About “Productivity” and Start Talking About Balance | with Mike VardyHow to Have a Successful Career Without Sacrificing Family | with Farrel LevyGuest Bio: Laura VanderkamLaura Vanderkam is the author of several time management and productivity books, including the new Tranquility by Tuesday: 9 Ways to Calm the Chaos and Make Time for What Matters, along with Juliet’s School of Possibilities, Off the Clock, I Know How She Does It, What the Most Successful People Do Before Breakfast, and 168 Hours.

Ralph Macchio ‘Waxing On’ About Authentically Living a More Balanced and Fulfilling Life

Want to continue learning from the world’s experts on time management, networking, career development, better sleep, overcoming burnout, and so much more?→ Click here for your customized podcast playlistRalph Macchio is an actor, producer, and director obviously most well known for his portrayal of Daniel LaRusso in the Karate Kid films and now the hit Netflix series Cobra Kai. He has also appeared on both stage and screen in notable credits including The Outsiders, Crossroads, and My Cousin Vinny. Most recently, he has also added ‘NYT bestselling author’ to his credits after releasing Waxing On: The Karate Kid and Me which I can not recommend enough (it probably comes as no surprise I read the entire book in one sitting).In one of the few rare occurrences where Ralph has made himself available for a long form conversation (as opposed to doing the rounds on the talk shows for a few minutes at a time), Ralph and I dive deep into his life, his successes, and his failures along the way far beyond just his role as Daniel LaRusso in The Karate Kid and Cobra Kai (but for all you diehard fans don’t worry…we definitely discuss that too). Ralph shares his challenges with maintaining authenticity in both his performances but also who he is as a person, father, and husband. Given his personal relationship with Pat Morita offscreen that translated to his relationship with Mr. Miyagi onscreen, we discuss mentorship and how it has shaped him. We honestly discuss how Ralph has managed the challenge of being pigeonholed as a single character his entire acting career. And most importantly, this wouldn’t be a proper conversation without discussing how to live a life defined by balance.Whether The Karate Kid was your Star Wars or you’re literally hearing of Ralph Macchio for the first time, there’s no better way to say it: Today’s conversation will inspire the shit out of you.Want to Hear More Episodes Like This One?» Click here to subscribe and never miss another episode Here's What You'll Learn:How we can define work-life balance in a day & age where the lines are so blurred between the two, they feel like the same thingHow we can manage and face our deepest fears when we know they’re standing between us and the best version of ourselvesThe real reason Ralph says Cobra Kai has been such a success (and it’s not just The Karate Kid)How remaining authentic paves the way for success both in your career and personal lifeHow Ralph Macchio defines what a “Miyagi mentor” is in real lifeUnderstanding the difference between when you can avoid being pigeonholed, and when it’s time to embrace the mark you’ve madeThe importance of knowing when to strive for balance, and when to fully commitHow fully committing to the present moment allows for a more successful and fulfilling personal life and careerHow to maintain healthy relationships when you are forced to go through periods of work that require your absenceWhat Ralph is planning next after Cobra Kai…Useful Resources Mentioned:Waxing On: The Karate Kid and MeWax On, F*ck Off with Ralph MacchioHow to Find the Right Type of Mentor For You (and When You Should Seek the Best)Continue to Listen & LearnHow to Have a Successful Career Without Sacrificing Family | with Farrel LevyHow to Reinvent Yourself at Any Age (And Become Badass) | with Scott MorganMaking It In Hollywood as a "Creative" (What They Don't Teach You In Film School) | with Norman HollynOn the Vital Importance of "Being Nice" | with Jesse Averna, ACEHow to Avoid Getting Pigeonholed, The ‘Concentric Circles of Networking’ & More | with Doc Crotzer, ACEThe power of finding the right mentor (and how to make it happen)How to Go From Cold Contact to Your Ideal Mentor In Seven Simple StepsGuest Bio:Ralph MacchioAn actor, producer, director with an extensive list of credits, Ralph Macchio is best known for his celebrated performance as Johnny in Frances Ford Coppola’s The Outsiders; the hit film My Cousin Vinny; and most notably for the title role in the popular classic The Karate Kid and its successors.
