  • EPISODE 25 [solo]: INEVITABILITY: Achieving Your “Why”

    Discovering your “why” is the easy part. Achieving that purpose is something else entirely. The Law of Attraction can help, but only gets you so far. This is your “why” is something effortful. Books don’t write themselves. Companies don’t thrive on their own. This is where INEVITABILITY comes in. If the Law of Attraction is powered by gratitude, then INEVITABILITY is fueled by self-belief. Join Matt for this insightful approach to goal achievement and techniques that make that inevitable.

  • EPISODE 23 [solo]: Harnessing Gratitude – The Law of Attraction in Action

    Would you rather live life by design or by default? The thing about gratitude is that it doesn’t happen by itself. The same may not be true of the Law of Attraction. Whether you believe in it is less relevant than the role of gratitude in your life. Positive experiences like happiness, joy, inspiration and love rely on making a conscious decision and effort to feel grateful. This means that harnessing gratitude goes to the very heart of mindfulness and life enrichment.
