Summary
This week’s episode started as a quick 12-minute video about becoming a new dad . . . and became something way more raw. In it, Matthew talks about what surprised him, what scared him, and what fatherhood actually feels like in real time—messy routines, intense emotions, and a vulnerability he didn’t see coming.
But this podcast isn’t just about having a baby. It’s about responsibility without resentment, how choosing the right partner suddenly matters in a completely different way, and that strange shift that happens when your “highest self” stops being an abstract idea and becomes someone you actually want to make proud.
If you’ve ever felt the weight of a big life decision—or the pressure to get it all right—this one’s for you.

| 1:22.3 | have spent nearly 20 years of my life now, predominantly with women, but increasingly with men as well. |
