  I Failed at 2 Businesses By 22. Here's What It Taught Me About Starting

  Sep 9, 202643 minS1

  I failed at 2 businesses by the time I was 22 — and I'd rather do that than fail at 35 with everything to lose.Matty G is the founder of Share Jesus and a DJ who did 60 MILLION views in 45 days. But before the views, there were two failed businesses, a non-profit he didn't know how to run, and the hard lesson that you're not going to think your way out of an action problem.This isn't another "follow your passion" interview. We get into what it actually takes to start.In this episode:Why "If you don't make a decision in time, time will make a decision for you"

  Episode #90

  Everyone was watching the fire on the hill. They missed the concert they paid for.

  Aug 19, 202613 minS1

  We paid to watch a Beach Boys cover band. And the whole crowd turned their backs on it to stare at a fire on a distant hillside. I was at a county fair, standing in the middle of a concert, when a brush fire broke out miles away. Within minutes, every head in the crowd — including mine — was watching helicopters drop water on a hill instead of the band we'd all paid to see. That's the exact moment this episode is about. Our brains are wired for survival. We're built to lock onto the biggest threat, the loudest danger, the most outrageous thing in view — because 10,000 years ago, ignoring it could get you killed. But here's the problem: that ancient wiring is now a product. News, social media, and entertainment have all figured out that outrage and negativity capture attention faster than anything else. And attention is money. So the "fire on the hill" never stops. It's in your pocket, refreshing every thirty seconds, telling you the world is on fire while the good things in your actual life play on behind you, unnoticed.

  Episode #89

  No one respects you if you don't respect yourself first.

  Aug 5, 20261h 20mS1

  He survived melanoma at 21. Then he ran across Arizona to prove something to himself. This is the founder of The Lean and Lethal Project — a man who built an entire philosophy around one uncomfortable truth: no one will respect you if you don't respect yourself first. We talk a lot about discipline like it's a supplement you can take. Wake up earlier. Take cold showers. Grind harder. But what this conversation exposed is that real discipline isn't about adding things to your life — it's about the small decisions you make when no one is watching. The ones that either build self-trust or quietly destroy it.

  God doesn't want you comfortable

  Jul 30, 202651 minS1

  He flew 8,000 miles from Australia to knock on doors in Arizona. And what he told me about God changed how I think about comfort. He left his family, his country, and the life he knew to spend two years in a shirt and tie, talking to strangers about faith. But this conversation wasn't about converting anyone. It was about a young man who heard a voice — an actual spiritual voice — tell him something he couldn't ignore. #spiritualgrowth #lds #missionaryjourney #christianity #faith Mentioned in this episode: The Matty McCurdy Program – Powered by Surmount Global On The Matty McCurdy Program, we dive deep into conversations that inspire, challenge, and empower.

  Episode #87

  I studied Conor McGregor's last fight. What I learned about greatness nobody talks about.

  Jul 18, 202630 minS1

  I watched Conor McGregor's last fight. Not as a fan — as a student. And I realized something most people never figure out: the difference between doing the work and refining the work. Everyone talks about grinding harder. Putting in the hours. The 10,000-hour rule. But if you look at McGregor — the footwork, the setups, the small adjustments between fights — you'll see something else entirely. The man didn't just train. He refined. And that's why he became the highest-paid athlete in the world, not just another fighter who showed up. Most people stop at "good enough." They repeat the same version of themselves every day and call it discipline. But greatness isn't about repetition. It's about refinement — the uncomfortable, honest, often boring process of breaking down what you did and making it 2% better.
