Full Episode
The following is a conversation with Matthew McConaughey, a legendary Oscar-winning actor and one of the most unique, charismatic, and inspiring humans and Texans who walk this earth. He starred in films and shows loved by me and millions of others, including Interstellar, Dazed and Confused, Dallas Bias Club, Killer Joe, Mudd, True Detective, and soon a spinoff of Yellowstone.
Offscreen, his words carry wisdom and power in his book called Greenlights and his new video course called Road Trip, where Matthew expands on the philosophy in his book and shows how to apply it to your life in order to find more happiness, success, and love. And now a quick few second mention of each sponsor. Check them out in the description. It's the best way to support this podcast.

I try to make this interesting, but if you must skip them, friends, please still check out the sponsors. I enjoy their stuff. Maybe you will too. This episode is brought to you by, I think a new sponsor, but I've been using them for so long and loving them for so long, I can't sing them enough praises.
It's Riverside FM, the platform that makes it easy for podcasters and media companies to record remotely in studios quality. I'm a big time sucker, you could say, for in-person conversations, but that's not always possible. I've recorded the conversation with Noam Chomsky the second time we talked remotely, and there I used Riverside FM. It just makes it so easy.
It does the double-ended recording for you. which is the audio and the video in highest quality, because you know, my connection with Noam Chomsky was horrible. The internet, there's something wrong on both of our internets. It just did not want to cooperate. And still the final result captured the quality of my camera and the quality of Noam Chomsky's camera perfectly.
That's the whole point of this kind of technology. It's just incredibly easy to use. You know, you don't have to give instructions to the other person on a bunch of things to click on. It's all this kind of complexity that you would have to do to have a double ending recording using audio recording software, which is, I think, how people used to do it. This is all in browser.
It just works effortlessly, works nicely. It just works. The final thing looks good. If you're doing a podcast, if you're doing any kind of remote recording, Riverside FM is what you should be using it. I record my remote interviews with Riverside.
