Voice by Matt - Ep 100 - 48 Lessons at 48 - A Birthday, a Breakthrough, and Becoming Who You Are

Episode 100 of Voice by Matt is a celebration of legacy, transformation, and truth, recorded on Matt Berthot’s 48th birthday with special guest and co-host Angela Goodman.

The episode opens with playfulness and warmth as Angela flips the mic, interviewing Matt about the biggest lessons from his 47th year on Earth. Together, they explore themes of identity, spiritual growth, ego transformation, money mindset, physical discipline, emotional maturity, and legacy leadership.

Matt shares his most profound shift: moving from his “defense” identity to alignment with his essential self, a teaching rooted in his work with his coach Gene Early. This idea, that the ego and soul must submit to the spirit,  becomes the through-line of the episode.

Live guest calls with Gene Early, Josh Kosnick, and Justin Merod bring heart, depth, and validation as each reflects on Matt’s growth and influence. Gene honors Matt’s shift from external to internal reference and praises his maturation in choice and agency. Josh celebrates Matt’s commitment to physical mastery and calls out the impact of tough love. Justin reflects on Matt’s consistency, evolution, and the power of aligned partnership and purpose.

Angela contributes thoughtful insights on abundance vs. scarcity, the sacred friction of relationships, and the kind of spiritual friendships that allow for truth, not just affirmation.

The episode closes with Matt’s final life lesson, a personal benediction:

“The best part of your life hasn’t happened yet, but it’s waiting on your full presence.”

Listeners are then invited into Matt’s 4 signature coaching questions:

Matt and Angela wrap with laughter, gratitude, and a reminder to claim your truth before your next birthday.
