Dailyn Matthews left an abusive marriage with a two-year-old daughter and rebuilt her life in one of the most dangerous, male-dominated industries in the world: stunt work.

Now, after 26 years of falling, fighting, driving, escaping and surviving on camera, she’s also building a second career as an adventure photographer.

In this episode of Goals Do Come True, Doug talks to stuntwoman and photographer Dailyn Matthews about survival, reinvention, creativity, AI, motherhood, goal-setting, and what it really takes to keep going when life forces you to start again.

From dangerous film sets to volcanoes in Hawaii, underwater photo shoots, vision boards, TED Talk dreams and the power of doing the fun thing first, this is a story about choosing courage over comfort.
