EP49 Greenlights by Matthew McConaughey

Matthew McConaughey's book Greenlights gives us a valuable metaphor for life: the problems we face today eventually turn into blessings in the rearview mirror of life. I'll discuss how he was able to use visualization and eliminate limiting beliefs to catapult himself into the superstar league of Hollywood actors. McConaughey will also share with us the tough times he experienced along the way to stardom, and how those redlights only helped him come out of the other side even stronger. I really enjoyed reading this book, not only because McConaughey is a great storyteller, but also because many of his stories and poems pack a ton of wisdom. Get excited for an entertaining journey through the life of Matthew McConaughey!
