S2 E8: Pursuing Passion and Purpose with Matthew James Gutierrez
Matthew James Gutierrez is the author of a bilingual poetry book entitled Notes I Wrote Along The Way.

As an undergraduate, he studied creative writing, focusing on fiction and poetry, and took courses on screenplay and television writing at UCLA.
Highlight:
08:11 – If plan a doesn’t work the way we always think, I always go back to plan b.
13:59 – I never quit planning. I think that is the important thing. I feel like maybe, sometimes, some people may or someone may get to a certain age and say well I’m still never going to do that.
16:16 - Notes I Wrote Along the Way is a collection of original poems inspired by the emotions that we gather up and confront on this journey called life. The themes of memory, environment, love, sexual desire, dreams, madness, and death paint a picture inside your mind, transporting you to a place of imagination and, at times, fantasy. The poems are a bridge between yourself and the stories being told, bringing forth emotions and feelings of vulnerability, helping you revisit experiences, bringing to life past and present memories and moments from your personal life.
17:58 – I started writing when I was in 10th grade and I had this crush on this friend of mine and I didn’t know how to tell her that I like her so I wrote a poem.
