In this candid conversation, former co-host Matt Davis shares his journey launching a legacy film business while reflecting on how sobriety and community support helped him overcome perfectionism and finally pursue his passion project after years of hesitation.
Key TakeawaysMatt Davis is the founder and creative director of Life Stage Films and Harvest Filmworks, with nearly two decades of experience crafting compelling visual stories. Starting with weddings and expanding into corporate production, Matt has filmed over a thousand events worldwide. A former co-host of this podcast, he's now launching legacy films—documentary-style projects that capture family stories for future generations. Matt brings a unique perspective shaped by his personal journey of overcoming addiction (recently celebrating two years of sobriety) and his commitment to authentic storytelling.
In This Episode"I always thought that if I got to three or six months, oh, I can handle this alcohol thing... I feel like I take the limitless pill every day with my sobriety. I feel like my head is clear. My ideas are coming forth in a way that I didn't even think that could happen 10 years ago or five years ago." - Matt Davis
"You're telling me that I've done over a thousand events and weddings for families and you're afraid to pick up the phone and call people and tell them what you're up to... getting feedback from past clients, they already trust me, already friends with me, it was a godsend." - Matt Davis
"Don't overthink it. Just do it... get out of your head and just do the thing that you feel like you were designed to do, called to do, however you wanna phrase that. But that's what you owe the world." - Ryan Koral
"I didn't feel like I was being my authentic self for years because of the struggle that I was having behind the scenes... I wasn't. I really wasn't being authentic. And who am I to go out there and try to make these authentic films for businesses?" - Matt Davis
