On this episode of the Positive University Podcast, bestselling author Jon Gordon talks with 5 time grammy nominated singer / songwriter Matthew West.

Matthew has achieved phenomenal success by almost every measure with multiple hit songs and awards. But, it didn't start out that way. In fact, Matthew didn't even want to be a recording artist… but you'll hear more about that in the interview. You'll also hear how Matthew has embraced rejection to propel him forward, how he handles discouragement and why he's obsessed with learning and growing to become his best.

Matthew just released a new album called BRAND NEW that you can pick up anywhere music if sold, including iTunes. Listen to a sample here.
