Episode description

Fate is a terrible writer -- and it shouldn't be the one in the driver's seat of your life. But there has to be a balance between fate and control, right? Matthew McConaughey's take on this topic is an inspiring one, and in this week's interview, he talks about how fate works together with self-determination to help you create the life you really want. He argues that ego is actually a healthy thing and that there is a beautiful balance between freedom and responsibility (in his terms, "giddy-up and innate ability.") This epic conversation with Don and Matthew will inspire you to learn from your setbacks, take back control of your life, and develop the kind of optimism that will help you succeed.
