  • 2025: Build Trust Within Yourself
    Jan 6 2025

    “And that's what I want you to do in 2025: Build trust in yourself that when you say you're going to show up, you show up. When you say you're going to go work on your lines, or work on the character, do some research, or go to the gym, or do whatever-- you actually do it.”

    Today’s episode is a direct address to you, our viewers and listeners, to hopefully inspire you to kick off the new year on the right note. Today, we talk about laying the foundation to have a successful and fulfilling year. We go into creating consistent habits and patterns that will lead us towards our goals. There will be ups and downs along the way, but you never know when your next "win" is coming. Keep chipping away, keep putting in the work, and good things will eventually come your way. As Matt says, "Why not me?".

    10,000 NOs is here to inspire you and help you realize you are not alone if you’re battling to overcome rejection in your career or life.

    So, if you’re an actor, writer or filmmaker and you like what you hear in the snippets from our Insiders Acting Community zooms enough to want to be a part of it, CLICK HERE.

    Remember, “failure” is just opportunity in disguise, and you can flip the script to make your setbacks serve you.

  • Thank Yourself for Doing the Work in 2024
    Dec 30 2024

    “You may have something that’s hurtling through the universe on its way to you right now and you don’t know it, so don’t assume the worst. Don’t assume the best either, you know, you’ve still got to keep working, no matter what. Whether the jobs come to you or they don’t.”

    Today’s episode is a direct address to you, our viewers and listeners, to thank you not so much for watching and listening as much as for being the kind of person who is looking to learn, expand, grow and figure out a way to hone your own unique gifts so you can serve the world with them. It ain’t always easy, but you should be proud you’re on the path, taking your shot and being willing to put up with rejection, failure and embarrassment over and over again as you pursue your goals. We’ll pick it up again next week in 2025. Happy New Year and thank you.

  • Drive: The Common Trait of the Greats
    Dec 23 2024

    “The people that have shaped history… they weren’t lucky. They were willing to go through way more sh#t than you and I.”

    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 talk about perseverance and drive and the willingness of people that have achieved great things to put up with failure for decades in a row before “stumbling upon” the success that they were eventually known for. Shout out to Founders podcast which was incredibly influential on this conversation.
