| 0:00.0 | The following is a conversation with Matthew McConaughey, a legendary Oscar-winning actor |
| 0:05.4 | and one of the most unique, charismatic and inspiring humans and Texans who walk this earth. |
| 0:12.1 | He starred in films and shows loved by me and millions of others, including interstellar, |
| 0:17.9 | days in confused, Dallas Bias Club, Killer Joe, Mudd, True Detective, and soon a spin-off of Yellowstone. |
| 0:25.7 | Offscreen is Words Carry Wisdom and Power in his book called Greenlights and his new video course |
| 0:33.4 | called Road Trip, where Matthew expands in the philosophy in his book and shows how to apply to |
| 0:39.2 | your life in order to find more happiness, success, and love. |
| 0:45.5 | And now a quick few second mention of each sponsor. Check them out in the description. It's the |

| 1:41.1 | quality. I'm a big time sucker you could say for in-person conversations, but that's not always |
| 1:48.1 | possible. I've recorded the conversation with Nome Chomsky the second time we talked remotely, |
| 1:55.2 | and there I used Riverside FM. It just makes it so easy. It does the double ended recording for you, |
| 2:01.7 | which is the audio in the video on highest quality because you know, my connection with Nome Chomsky |
| 2:06.5 | was horrible. The internet, there's something wrong on both of our internet. It just did not want to |
