"When you're getting to that period of feeling like it's slipping away; it feels like it's crumbling; it's just a terrible feeling and I don't wish it on anyone-- And I know we've all experienced it. But when you get that feeling, immediately let it trigger you to go create something."

Today’s episode was ripped directly from one of our 10,000 NOs Working Actors Community weekly zooms where Matt addresses the challenges that face our members. Today, we discuss how to get ourselves out of a funk when we feel overwhelmed by our careers and life. Sometimes it's as simple as going on a walk. You don't have to have all the answers right now, but it is helpful to get out of our heads, into our bodies, and allow ourselves to create the life we want.

10,000 NOs is here to inspire you and help you realize you are not alone if you’re battling to overcome rejection in your career or life.

"But if you get into that mode you will not be as powerful as if you get into the mode where you're like, 'OK, sucks right now, but I'm coming for 'em.'"

Today’s episode was ripped directly from one of our 10,000 NOs Working Actors Community weekly zooms where Matt addresses the challenges that face our members. Today, we discuss how this industry can make you feel down and make you question whether you want to continue on. It can often feel like we need to play mental gymnastics in order to feel worthy. Matt talks about surrendering, reframing, and getting started. It's in taking action that we can realize our true power and worth.

"Digital did not ruin filmmaking. Digital gave us the Duplass brothers. Digital democratized it and then people were like, 'Oh well, it's not digital that's going to ruin it, it's this thing called YouTube that's going to ruin it.' And in fact YouTube is incredibly entertaining and good stuff percolates up all the time. And I would just say, sadly every new technology turn has been met with the same argument of it's going to ruin X, and yet it hasn't."

Today’s episode is a sit down with Matt's friend and award-winning film director, Ben Hansford, where they discuss AI and how it's affecting actors & the entertainment industry. Ben, one of the leading creatives in the A.I. & Machine Learning space (which he now teaches at USC), has worked on multi-national campaigns for some of the world’s largest brands including Nike, Old Spice, Bethesda, Call of Duty, Bungie, Activision, EA, X-Box, Microsoft, Mountain Dew, Marvel, & more. So sit back and enjoy this honest, thought-provoking conversation where Matt & Ben discuss AI and not only it's affect on actors, but the industry as a whole.
