Matthew McConaughey On: His Morning Routine; When To Take Risks; How To Bounce Back From Fuckups; And the Dangers of Cynicism

A guide to navigating "the rodeo of life".

Academy Award–winning actor and #1 New York Times bestselling author Matthew McConaughey is a husband and a father, an eternal optimist, a hopeful skeptic, and a man of faith who believes that we should all start sellin' Sunday morning like a Saturday night. His latest book is Poems and Prayers.

In this episode we talk about:

  • What Matthew's prayer practice looks like
  • How to figure out what your beliefs are
  • His relationship with doubt and humility
  • How to reframe your relationship with failure, risk, and embarrassment
  • Morning rituals and how to prepare for the day
  • Sins, cynicism, and what to do when things get hard
  • Matthew's take on the world
  • Misconceptions of 'good' and 'evil'
  • The difference between 'hope' and 'belief'
  • Why "belief is punk rock"
  • And more
