"It's a never ending challenge to stay in the right head and continue to believe that whatever is next is on its way. There are good things on their way to us, there are challenging things on their way to us. That's just the way it is. And it's not just us, it's anybody in life."

Today’s episode was ripped directly from one of our 10,000 NOs Working Actors Community weekly zooms where Matt addresses the challenges that face our members. Today, we discuss how the entertainment industry can make you feel small. Despite that feeling, you can take back your power by creating your own work. Matt uses the analogy of how "The casino is rigged; the house always wins; so you have to go build your own casino." Creating your own work subsequently allows you to be looser, and perform better in auditions, when you are pitching yourself to work on someone else's project.

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.

So, if you’re an actor, writer or filmmaker and you like what you hear in the snippets from our Working Actors Community zooms enough to want to be a part of it, CLICK HERE.

Remember, “failure” is just opportunity in disguise, and you can flip the script to make your setbacks serve you.
