"Look at what you actually do; Not what you say you do; Not what you think you do; Not what you tell others you do; What you actually do. And you're like, 'Oh, it's on you, Matt!'

"And then all of a sudden then you get jobs, then you meet other people on those jobs, and if you are showing up all those times, all of those people now go, 'Eugenia is really great.' And maybe they don't hire you for another decade, but then at a certain point they do!"

"I could embarrass the hell out of myself. And that's a fear. I'm just not going to give into it. It's like Apollo 13; failure is not an option. What do I have to do?"

Today’s episode was ripped directly from one of our 10,000 NOs Working Actors Community weekly zooms where Matt addresses the challenges that face our members. Today, Matt talks about how to overcome fear. He references a film he is making, titled Mickey Brasch, and all the emotions that came up when he started his Kickstarter campaign to raise funds for the project. The limitations we place on ourselves can often just be thoughts in our head. Instead of asking ourselves what can go wrong, we can reframe and ask ourselves what can go right!

"When you're getting to that period of feeling like it's slipping away; it feels like it's crumbling; it's just a terrible feeling and I don't wish it on anyone-- And I know we've all experienced it. But when you get that feeling, immediately let it trigger you to go create something."

"Digital did not ruin filmmaking. Digital gave us the Duplass brothers. Digital democratized it and then people were like, 'Oh well, it's not digital that's going to ruin it, it's this thing called YouTube that's going to ruin it.' And in fact YouTube is incredibly entertaining and good stuff percolates up all the time. And I would just say, sadly every new technology turn has been met with the same argument of it's going to ruin X, and yet it hasn't."

Today’s episode is a sit down with Matt's friend and award-winning film director, Ben Hansford, where they discuss AI and how it's affecting actors & the entertainment industry. Ben, one of the leading creatives in the A.I. & Machine Learning space (which he now teaches at USC), has worked on multi-national campaigns for some of the world’s largest brands including  Nike, Old Spice, Bethesda, Call of Duty, Bungie, Activision, EA, X-Box, Microsoft, Mountain Dew, Marvel, & more. So sit back and enjoy this honest, thought-provoking conversation where Matt & Ben discuss AI and not only it's affect on actors, but the industry as a whole.

"It's a never ending challenge to stay in the right head and continue to believe that whatever is next is on its way. There are good things on their way to us, there are challenging things on their way to us. That's just the way it is. And it's not just us, it's anybody in life."

Today’s episode was ripped directly from one of our 10,000 NOs Working Actors Community weekly zooms where Matt addresses the challenges that face our members. Today, we discuss how the entertainment industry can make you feel small. Despite that feeling, you can take back your power by creating your own work. Matt uses the analogy of how "The casino is rigged; the house always wins; so you have to go build your own casino." Creating your own work subsequently allows you to be looser, and perform better in auditions, when you are pitching yourself to work on someone else's project.
