Matt Gottesman is a visionary writer, strategist, and creator who has built an audience of 10,000+ readers while guiding entrepreneurs and leaders toward alignment with their true calling. His work has been recognized for its clarity and unique ability to reframe success beyond hustle culture.
But behind his wisdom lies a deeper truth: many of us are living out of alignment — chasing external success while ignoring intuition, mistaking discipline for force instead of devotion, and burning out in the process.
In this conversation, Matt and Lance explore:
- Why discipline is devotion — and how to reframe your relationship with hard work
- The real root of burnout and why it signals misalignment, not weakness
- How intuition acts as your soul’s GPS (and why it never lies)
- The continuous journey of self-discovery and humility
- How to know when to push forward and when to pivot
- The role of surrender in navigating uncertainty and change
- Why consistency builds capacity and unlocks true growth
- How to find your unique niche by embracing the through-line of your life experiences
- The difference between forcing success and aligning with purpose
👉 This episode is a masterclass in aligning discipline with devotion, leaning into change with grace, and trusting your inner guidance to create a life on purpose.
