As well as writing his own books, Matthew ghostwrites both articles and books for other successful entrepreneurs and thought-leaders, in-between spending time with his two children.

Today:

We talked about Matthew's book "Beyond the Pale," including its inception, the meaning behind the title, and the symbolic mountain lake on the cover.

Matthew shared insights on the hero's journey in his book, exploring personal transformation, business success, and a rediscovery of

vision.

We discussed the various characters the hero meets in the book and the wisdom and advice they impart to him.

We talked about the recurring theme of praise for achievement, reflecting on how it mirrors today's achievement-focused world, and the

challenges of escaping this mindset.

Matthew shared thoughts on the concept that the hero is not self-made, challenging the conventional idea of being self-made and its implications.

We discussed a powerful question from the book that prompts readers to challenge what they think they know to be true.

We talked about the importance of rest and slowing down, focusing on a significant moment in the book where the hero takes time to reflect.

Matthew shared insights on the theme of control, including the realization of limitations in controlling every aspect of life.

We discussed the multi-faceted concept of freedom as depicted in the book, including the paradox between wealth and feeling imprisoned.

We talked about the paradox of desire, examining the quote, “The more you want something, the less likely you are to find it,” and its

wider implications.

Matthew shared thoughts on the theme of scarcity, including how it's embraced early in life and the difficulty of shaking it off.

We concluded the interview by discussing Matthew's personal definition of success and how it resonates with his overall life philosophy.
