thank you
Hi Matt, I follow you on YouTube and now I am hooked to your Podcast too. I have a question. I am creating videos in YouTube since 3 years now and I don't have much success in terms of numbers. I get really good feedback and channel is growing in tortoise speed...I have 5k subs far. Do you think I can start creating content on Patreon or should I wait for more following and people in my community? looking forward for your reply.
too much vocal fry
I listened to half of the podcast, and almost didn't get anything. it was really like a useless discussion with another person.
I love your YouTube channel, it helped me making some positive personal decisions. Now you got me with your Podcast. You are class!
Nice
when a new podcast? they are the best
Damn I love these guys! ❤️
loved it
pretty crappy advice for weight loss, but interesting podcast
interesting podcast, but very crappy advice for weight loss.
Matt's advice on never missing more than two days in a row has really helped me with my regular exercise routine. I've also found that doing bodyweight exercises helps out. it's not really practical for me to have a gym membership at this time. and for a while, I used that as an excuse not to exercise. but it's amazing what doing push-ups lunges and squats can do for a workout.
After college info geek, Ground up show comes next on my favourite productivity life style podcasts. no fluff, no pretentiousness - just raw advice and real talk about thriving at life and doing your best! #AmbassadorRecommends
At 16:00, Matt mentions a very interesting thought which can probably resonate with many ambitious young people who are not currently surrounded with likeminded individuals. In short- the help and camaraderie you desire is out there! Self-help & personal development books are a great start: I highly recommend GaryVee's "Crushing It", James Clear's "Atomic Habits", and Dale Carnegie's "How to Win Friends and Influence People." It can be very difficult as a 22-year-old business owner to find inspiration through my close friends; not because they are dumb, but rather we're in different stages of life. Don't use this as an excuse!! The help is out there if you want it, you may just have to go find it. Loving this episode, Matt. Congrats on 100, and cheers to many more!
