Not A Podcast with Matt Graham

In America we are told that we are free. But what does it actually mean to be free? Have we been lied to? I'd argue yes.

No money, no skills, no connections. This is how I'd go about rebuilding my life starting from scratch.

Are your actions dictated by your feelings, or are your feelings dictated by your actions? I’ve always been fascinated by how these two aspects of our lives interact. Do we let our emotions drive us, or can we take control by changing our behavior first? Hopefully this podcast helps you rethink how you approach your daily decisions and the impact they have on your emotional state.

This episode shows you how small, intentional changes can lead to massive improvements in your life. Much like compound interest in finance, every tiny step you take toward getting your shit together can snowball into significant gains over time. Whether it's tweaking your morning routine, improving your diet, or setting clearer goals, we explore how these seemingly minor adjustments can create a ripple effect, transforming not just one aspect of your life, but every corner of it.

In this episode of "Not A Podcast," I dive deep into self-deception. Matt shares personal stories of times he's lied to himself—moments of denial, misplaced optimism, or simply refusing to face reality. Through these reflections, we examine the impact these lies have had, and how confronting these truths can lead to growth and self-awareness. Whether it's about relationships, career choices, or personal beliefs, this episode encourages you to reflect on your own self-deceptions and consider what it means to live more authentically.

Everyone has something to sell you. So many internet influencers sell you the notion that the way they do things are the only way to do them; the way it must be done in order to succeed or make progress in life. The key to gaining progress is identifying what works for you and your scenario and doubling down on it.

In a culture of self-absorption, self-service and self-glorification, the world is starving for selflessness. The world needs people who are dedicated to solving the problems of the world. If you're lacking meaning in your life, if you're struggling to find purpose, consider to what degree you've been living for yourself. To what degree you've been living in a state of self-service. Turn your attention outward, forget yourself for the time being, and see what life is like when you donate your efforts to the betterment of other people.
