It’s been a week — the kind that’s equal parts exhausting and exhilarating — and Matt is back Backstage to fill you in. He digs into a paradigm shift around LinkedIn and social media (turns out treating the feed like a room full of people beats posting and running), teases a Hollywood project bridging entertainment, business, and leadership development, and reflects on why holding up a mirror to show people how great they already are sits at the heart of The Bigger Stage.
Then there’s the trivia that lands the plane: on this day in 1843, a wagon train of 100-plus left Missouri for Oregon. Most of the people made it. Their wagons mostly didn’t. Matt unpacks what that says about the vehicles we ride into our ambitions — franchises, old habits, comfortable assumptions — and why the thing that carries you part of the way isn’t always the thing that gets you home. What got you here, as the saying goes, won’t get you there.
