Matthew McConaughey: Stop Chasing 'Yet'

Matthew McConaughey: Stop Chasing 'Yet'

Oscar-winning actor and author Matthew McConaughey joins us to share his deeply philosophical approach to life, work, and the pursuit of satisfaction.


We return to our chat with Matthew where he challenges the idea that we should be 'chasing yet,' arguing instead that life is a verb - a continuous process rather than a final destination where we suddenly 'arrive'. He discusses his process of elimination for finding one's true self, explaining why removing things that don't feed your soul is the fastest way to discover what does.


Key takeaways include:

  • Why the ultimate goal is to marry your innate ability with a relentless work ethic.
  • The 10-Day Decision Process: Matthew’s unique method for measuring risks and committing to choices without negotiating with himself.
  • Dissecting Success: Why we should use journals not just during hard times, but when we are "rolling" to build a blueprint for future happiness


This is a conversation about discipline, self-awareness, and commitment. About checking in with yourself daily. About writing the headline first, then living the story toward it. About understanding that high performance isn't one big ta-da moment - it's the tiny decisions we make every single day.
