I'm so grateful that you have continued to step out from your industry of being a world class actor and creative artist and being expressing yourself more. Sharing your art, your poetry, your stories, your lessons, and your truths. It's been a beautiful journey to watch you continue to impact lives, not only on screen, but also off as yourself. I'm really grateful that you're doing this.

Cool. Thank you. I'm glad it's landed that way for you. It's been challenging and gratifying for me, that it started with the book. You've written books.
What I wanted to do is, when I'm acting, I'm going through five filters between my raw expression and what you see on screen. Five. Someone else's script, someone else's character, someone else buying the camera, someone else directing, someone else editing. That's five filters between me and the raw expression. What wrote the book is I said, I want to get rid of some of those filters. Now, book is one filter. It's still a written word.

**Lewis Howes** (4:11)
Yes.

**Matthew McConaughey** (4:11)
But in the ultimate is like when people do standout or performances or like this, we're live. This is no filter. That's what I wanted to do where I could direct my own story, be the main character in my own story, edit it through my lens.
It's stuck in a way, which was nice to hear the reverb and hear people come back to me about what they got from it, questions they still have about it and how it helped them along their own path in some ways.
