Being struck by the phrase "living the real" in a book he read years ago, Matt started processing his life through these three words. It wasn't long before he realized he repeatedly fell short of living a life evoking the same emotion that phrase conveyed. Thus started Matt's search for how to live a life that represented what those words surfaced in him. What came from that was his 3-M framework: Margin, Momentum and Maintenance.Join Matt as he unlocks the power of his 3-M framework through story and reflection.

Three ways to protect yourself from life's harms
This episode is all about when life feels entirely out of control. Previous episodes have focused on learning to live life through the lens of "discovery." The problem is that when life feels upside down, "life as discovery" is meaningless. What first needs to happen is to stop drowning! This episode is all about how to patch the gaping holes of life so we can get our boat afloat again.

Angie Long, LMFT | The Surprising Reason Why Relationships Fail And How to Fix Them
I invite Angie Long on for a third time to discuss how friendship in romance is a defining characteristic of an enduring relationship and how to cultivate it if we don't have it.
Angie and I put our brains together to develop a simple Journal template to facilitate regular introspection leading to deeper affection and connection with the people we love most. You can snag it for FREE here. Matt also will provide a short video tutorial to show you how he uses templates like this one regularly in his life with a journal application called DayOne.

Customer Reviews
Supportive, Insightful, Encouraging
Matt and his guests offer some really wonderful frameworks for understanding life. I started listening to this while going through a really rough breakup, and it helped give me some positive ways to process what I was dealing with.
Insightful and challenging!
This is such a wonderful podcast full of insightful and challenging material that would be relevant for people in any stage of life. As a graduate student, this podcast is full of wonderful insights into how to live a more ordered life while in the challenging and hectic life of graduate school. I recommend this podcast for anyone in the process of transitioning in life or just looking to reorder their life to live a more values centered life and live the best life we can.
Inspiration that applies to daily living
Great listen to refocus on living each day in the awareness of your intentions and desired outcomes. Little tidbits that stick in the mind to refer back to remind myself of what I’ve learned from this podcast. Calming and still very informative.
