Summary
Matt is on holiday this week, so we're releasing a recent interview he did on "The Changeable" podcast hosted by Social Psychologist, Dr. Amy Johnson.
Dr. Johnson was Matt's guest last week when they discussed our brain's tendency to "get in the way" and take things that happen to us personally - sabotaging success and happiness.
In this interview, Matt and Amy discuss failure, resilience, and the importance of being change-able.
They also talk about the equation performance = potential – interference, and how he takes the seriousness out of things to help his clients have their best possible performance.

| 0:25.5 | And this week, as we head into the special holiday week in the US, yes, my favorite holiday |
| 0:31.7 | of the year, July 4th, you guys know why it's my favorite. |
| 0:36.4 | I get to battle with all of the folks saying, |
| 0:40.1 | don't forget who won the war. I know, I get it. I know that you personally helped with it. |
| 0:46.5 | But with this week, we're going to do a special. We're going to do something that we've never done |
| 0:50.9 | before. This is a little bit of a reverse show today because last |
| 0:55.2 | week's guest on the show was Amy Johnson and it was an incredibly compelling conversation. |
| 1:00.6 | But a few weeks back, I was actually a guest on Amy's show, changeable. And so today, we wanted to |

| 1:28.3 | Your performance is all about your potential minus interference, something to dig into. |
| 1:37.3 | And we thought that we would share that conversation today because it's really relevant to the broader perspective of performance, and we think it will be useful. And so it's a little fun, it's a relevant to the broader perspective of performance and we think it will be useful. |
| 1:45.7 | And so it's a little fun, it's a little different, and you actually get to hear me being |
| 1:49.9 | interviewed. You might even enjoy. But before we get into it, let's have some important run-throughs |
| 1:56.7 | with our old favourite segments. The first, the Squatty Update. |
| 2:06.8 | The reason we want to do a Squatty update this week is because we are heading into the |
