On a bitterly cold January morning, with the world feeling unsettled, Matt reflects on the discipline of building something that lasts. As he prepares to formally rename and advance his show as Matt Stone Live, he explores what it really means to think like a builder — choosing which “buildings” to work on now while holding the long-term plan in mind. This episode is about the danger of keeping vision only in your head, the stabilizing power of writing down your North Star, and why clarity on paper protects you from being pulled off course by moods, noise, or well-meaning advice. When conditions are chaotic, intention becomes infrastructure.
