10,000 NOs

You may be familiar with Hollywood stars such as Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson, J.K. Simmons, James Marsden, Sylvester Stallone and Zac Efron, but you may not know the trainer that helped them build their incredible physiques, Aaron Williamson. Aaron went from Marine Corps, to being a celebrity trainer, to stunt man and now actor. But his path was far from smooth, he spent time living out of his car and overdosed at only 12 years old. He then transitioned to a personal trainer and after a chance encounter ended up working with Zac Efron for his role in "The Lucky One". Now he's moved on to being a stunt performer working on films such as The Purge, Birds of Prey, Dawn of the Planet of the Apes, to name a few...and now he’s beginning a new journey into the craft of acting.GUEST LINKS https://www.facebook.com/aaronvwilliamsonhttps://www.instagram.com/aaronvwilliamson/https://www.tiktok.com/@avwilliamsonSHOW LINKSPRE-ORDER MATT'S BOOK HERE (PUBLISHES OCT 27, 2020)JOIN THE 10,000 NO's TRIBEFOLLOW MATTBOOKS & THINGS (INCLUDING PAST GUEST CREATIONS)COACH WITH MATT

Hrishikesh Hirway is a humble high achiever. He has just released his first Netflix Mini-series, Song Exploder, based on his wildly popular podcast of the same name. On it, he talks to musicians like Alicia Keys, R.E.M., Hamilton creator and star Lin-Manuel Miranda and Ty Dollar Sign.To say that it is huge, is an understatement. I met Hrishikesh when I was a guest on his other GIANT podcast that he co-created and co-hosted with my former cast mate from The West Wing and Scandal, Josh Malina – that podcast is The West Wing Weekly, yet another zeitgeist podcast.Originally, though, Hrishikesh moved to L.A. to record music and score films, so... as wildly successful as he is now, for a long time he still identified himself as a struggling, or failed, musician.His humility, combined with laser focus and attention to detail is perhaps what inspired me the most.Note: This is the second part, if you would like to listen to the first part of the interview, you can find it hereGUEST LINKShrishikesh.cosongexploder.nettwitter.com/HrishiHirwayinstagram.com/hrishihirwaytwitter.com/SongExploderinstagram.com/songexploderSHOW LINKSPRE-ORDER MATT'S BOOK HERE (PUBLISHES OCT 27, 2020)JOIN THE 10,000 NO's TRIBEFOLLOW MATTBOOKS & THINGS (INCLUDING PAST GUEST CREATIONS)COACH WITH MATT
