Summary

Are your bank account and souls account out of balance? Matthew McConaughey shares how a risky career move paid off big and brought him the fulfillment he was looking for—and the Academy Award for Best Actor. He also gets candid about relationships, money, and the legacy he’s building. If you’re afraid of failure and embarrassment, he says that you should still “play it live” because people will appreciate your vulnerability and you may even inspire others to do the same.

What you will learn:

Red lights are learning moments
Why you may need to unbrand to rebrand
Balancing your bank account and your souls account
Why you should choose opportunities carefully
Be less impressed and more involved
Identify the role you want to play
A roof is a manmade thing
