What are you waiting to feel "ready" to do?
Write the book? Make the career move? Start the project? Finally put something you've created into the world?
And what if you could move forward BEFORE you knew exactly how it was all going to turn out?
In this episode, Mitch sits down with actor, author, podcaster and his son, Alex Matthews, for a funny, honest conversation about creativity, rejection, uncertainty and continuing to show up when you can't control the outcome.
Alex shares what he's learned while building an acting career in Los Angeles, becoming a SAG actor, writing three novels and launching his own podcast.
But this isn't just an episode for actors or creatives.
It's for anyone pursuing something that matters... especially when the finish line keeps moving.
