The Matty McCurdy Program

He told me something most Mormon missionaries would never say out loud: "I don't know if I believe any of this."And then he dedicated two years of his life to serving a mission anyway. In this episode, I sit down with a young missionary from the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints who was honest about something most people in any faith tradition won't admit — his belief was hanging by a th...

She was told a career meant giving up motherhood. She proved everyone wrong. Faith Calhoun grew up inside the political machine — door-knocking as a kid, working the U.S. Capitol, running social media for gubernatorial campaigns. She's seen how the system really works. But the most important thing she learned wasn't about politics at all. It was about the lie women are sold: that career and mother...

The right says "man up." The left says masculinity itself is the problem. They're both describing symptoms and calling it the fire. Here are the numbers nobody wants to sit with: Men account for 79% of all suicides in the United States. Suicide is the leading cause of death for men under 45. 57% of men report having no close friends — not one person they can call in a time of crisis. That number h...

I asked a business litigator one simple question. His answer changed how I'll use AI forever. Everything you type into ChatGPT, Claude, or any AI tool is discoverable in court. Your chats aren't private. They aren't privileged. And if you're ever in a lawsuit, the other side can access every single conversation you've had with an AI. Mentioned in this episode: The Matty McCurdy Program – Powered b...

Half commitment doesn't produce growth. It produces the illusion of growth. I learned this the hard way by spending years "dipping my toe in" and calling it progress. Baby steps. Gradual changes. Comfortable growth. None of it actually changed me. Here's what nobody tells you: that fear and anxiety you feel when you're stretched beyond your limits? It's not a warning sign. It's evidence that you'r...

You don't deserve anything. You work for it. That's not what I wanted to hear either. But sitting across from Jake — a guy paying off a $540,000 house in five years — it's the one thing that made everything else click. The average American has $756 in their savings account. We're told to "invest" and "leverage debt" while we can't even cover a car repair. Meanwhile, the people who are actually bui...

Everyone who ever counted me out became data. Every doubt, every dismissal, every closed door. I stopped letting it break me and started letting it inform me. Most people collapse under opposition or waste their energy fighting it. But the most successful people I've ever studied do something different, they extract the intelligence from it. In this episode, I break down the 3 types of opposition...

I hit every goal. Made the money. Got the recognition. Did it again. And again. And I still went to bed feeling like it wasn't enough. For a long time I thought that meant I needed to push harder. Set bigger targets. Find the next level. What I didn't know, what nobody told me, is that the "never enough" feeling isn't ambition. It's anxiety wearing ambition's clothes. Real ambition energizes you....

I remember the exact feeling...the pressure to have your whole life figured out, and the quiet terror of not knowing. Nobody tells you that the question itself is wrong. The truth? The people who "have it all figured out" are either lying or they've locked themselves into a path that isn't really theirs. The ones who actually build a life they love? They learned to stop needing a plan and start ne...

Todays Solo Episode: I spent years preparing, taking courses, networking convinced I just needed more experience before I could really start. I was completely backwards.
