Marie Forleo & Matthew McConaughey

“Persist, pivot, or concede. It’s up to us, our choice. Every time.”

- Matthew MConaughey

Have you listened to the Marie Forleo interview with Matthew McConaughey?

If not, you might want to. It blew my socks off :)

You know how sometimes you listen to a podcast or interview — and the person speaking seems to be talking directly TO you?

That’s kinda the feeling I got last year, while listening to Marie Forleo’s podcast interview with the actor, Matthew McConaughey. I found his stories & insights fascinating.

Not only is Matthew McConaughey an amazing storyteller, he shares hard-earned wisdom that we may be able to apply to our own lives.

In his interview with Marie Forleo, he talks about:

  • How to catch more “greenlights” in your life.
  • The biggest red light of Matthew’s life — and how he survived it.
  • When to persist, pivot, or quit.
  • Why “needing” will ruin your relationships and career — & what to do instead.
  • The non-negotiable practices you need to balance career and family.
  • How to reinvent yourself at any age.
