“There’s nothing better: you negotiate the deal and you start thinking and planning your life… and about two weeks before I was meant to go, I get the call: the European studio backed out, they’re scrapping the entire project, it’s over.”

Today’s special episode is a sit down with my old friend and colleague (from Wind River and Teen Wolf), Ian Bohen. You may know him as Ryan from Yellowstone, but as you’ll hear, he’s been kicking around for a long, long time (in fact, he played a young Kevin Costner as a 15 year old in Wyatt Earp all the way back in 1994). His years on the road, hearing plenty of NOs along with all of the YES’s has brought him hard-earned wisdom, which he dispenses with ease for actors, and anyone in a competitive field, to learn from.

10,000 NOs is here to inspire you and help you realize you are not alone if you’re battling to overcome rejection in your career or life.

Today’s episode was ripped directly from one of our 10,000 NOs Insiders Acting Community weekly zooms where Matt addresses the challenges that face our members. Today, we discuss the stoic philosophy of keeping death in mind so that we live each day to its fullest and avoid being surprised when death comes our way. But we also talk about the fact that good things can come our way too, citing examples of people in Hollywood who had careers that took sharp turns toward success. Matt poses the question, “if good surprises happen to people every day, why can’t they happen for you?”

Today’s episode was ripped directly from one of our 10,000 NOs Insiders Acting Community weekly zooms where Matt addresses the challenges that face our members. Today, Matt shares some of the inspiration he received from a podcast that he has become obsessed with: Founders. Drawing from stories of great filmmakers, entrepreneurs and athletes, Matt discusses the parallels between the attributes of those who have achieved greatness in other fields with the attributes required for success as an actor, writer or filmmaker. Success leaves clues. Ultimately, it comes down to what you want: to forge your own path and attempt to create your own destiny or follow a beaten path, that requires less responsibility in comparison, by working for someone else.
