Summary

What. Is. My. Life. This week I had the unbelievable pleasure of sitting down with Matthew McConaughey and let me tell you: he is as charming in real life (or over a Zoom call) as he is on the big screen. We chatted all about how his family has adjusted during lockdown, what it's like writing and creating in anonymity, and the secret he's held onto all these years from none other than Jay Leno. Believe me when I tell y'all this one is can't-miss! Matthew's book, Greenlights, is available NOW! Pick it up by clicking here: https://bookshop.org/books/greenlights/9780593139134 and be sure to let him know what you thought of the episode by saying howdy over at instagram: https://www.instagram.com/officiallymcconaughey/ Did you hear our HUGE ANNOUNCEMENT at the end of the show?
