October 16, 2020 Song Exploder Mastermind Hrishikesh Hirway, on Being Disciplined, All The Way to the Top (Part II)
Hrishikesh Hirway is a humble high achiever. He has just released his first Netflix Mini-series, Song Exploder, based on his wildly popular podcast of the same name. On it, he talks to musicians like Alicia Keys, R.E.M., Hamilton creator and star Lin-Manuel Miranda and Ty Dollar Sign. To say that it is huge, is an understatement. I met Hrishikesh when I was a guest on his other GIANT podcast that he co-created and co-hosted with my former cast mate from The West Wing and Scandal, Josh Malina – that podcast is The West Wing Weekly, yet another zeitgeist podcast. Originally, though, Hrishikesh moved to L.A. to record music and score films, so... as wildly successful as he is now, for a long time he still identified himself as a struggling, or failed, musician. His humility, combined with laser focus and attention to detail is perhaps what inspired me the most.

October 12, 2020 Success, It's Got to Cost You Something
Everyone wishes they could just “get there” right now. But whether it’s finding the nuances of a character you’re playing, being a better parent or being at the top of your field, if it doesn’t cost you anything (time, effort, sacrifice, etc.) the chances are that it won’t be worth much.

October 05, 2020 The Power of Encouragement
Do you look at life as a zero sum game where your victories are dependent on other people failing? In this excerpt from Matt's contribution to Christopher J. Wirth's COVID-era online forum, We Rise By Lifting Others Up, Matt talks about the power of encouragement and how helping others ends up helping you just as much if your heart is in the right place.

September 28, 2020 There Will Always Be Dog Hair to Dust and Dishes to Clean
Are there aspects of your profession, or your life, that you find yourself having to deal with every day? Of course there are, but that doesn't mean you have to complain about them. They are the proverbial dog hair dusting that's necessary if you want to enjoy your dog (that's not hypoallergenic) and they will bug you a lot less if you accept them as "part of the gig". People think acting is glamorous, and it can be, but being told "No" is part of the gig, and unless you can accept that as a very real portion of "following your dream", you're going to be miserable every day. It's not the obstacle... it's how we view the obstacle that determines if it is, in fact, an obstacle after all. And, PS. If you want to eat... you're going to have to clean the dishes (or do well enough that you have staff that takes care of them for you).

September 25, 2020 Emmy Award Winner Tom Skerritt, You Can Do It, Ya Just Gotta Keep Moving
I'm super psyched about this week's guest, none other than Emmy Award Winner Tom Skerritt. You might know him from his iconic roles in Top Gun, The River Runs Through It, Alien, M*A*S*H*, and Picket Fences. We chat about his humble beginnings in Detroit, to his first films with none other than Robert Redford, Sydney Pollack and Robert Altman.

Tom's love for art and creativity have lead him to start the company Triple Squirrels and the EVRGRN channel, focusing on sharing stories that bring us inspiration, light and hope. This conversation is one that all young actors can learn from, about how to approach their art and how to keep a positive attitude in such an up and down career, as Tom says "just keep movin' kid, just keep movin'...."

September 18, 2020 Emmy-Nominated Journalist, Author and Screenplay Writer Michele McPhee
Michele McPhee is an author, former talk radio host, screenwriter, five-time Emmy nominated investigative journalist (The Boston Globe, New York Daily News among others) and overall badass. And more recently a writer/producer on Showtime's City on a Hill.
Michele has uncovered some of the highest profile cases & criminals in the United States. You're going to hear this for yourself, but she is not afraid to go after anyone, mobsters, FBI, anyone ... if they're in the way of her uncovering the truth on a story. She is unapologetically herself (including her awesome Boston accent) and what I really love about her is that, despite the fact that she literally puts her life on the line in the name of journalistic integrity, she is a total warm, softy. That's who she is: generous, real and seemingly connected to literally anyone who's anyone in Boston and beyond.

September 14, 2020 How Many Symphonies Are Wasting Away on Your Hard Drive?
When's the last time you did an assessment to see how close your life is to the dreams you had when you were younger? Have your goals changed? If so, have you taken steps to get closer to your new goals and dreams? While writing down your goals may not make your dreams happen overnight, like in the movies, it will do a lot to take something from an ethereal idea in your head and transform it into a reality that you, and others, can touch with your hands. Matt reveals both sides of this coin for his own life, with personal stories of some wins and losses.
