Emmy Award Winner Tom Skerritt, You Can Do It, Ya Just Gotta Keep Moving

I'm super psyched about this week's guest, none other than Emmy Award Winner Tom Skerritt. You might know him from his iconic roles in Top Gun, The River Runs Through It, Alien, M*A*S*H*, and Picket Fences. We chat about his humble beginnings in Detroit, to his first films with none other than Robert Redford, Sydney Pollack and Robert Altman.

Tom's love for art and creativity have lead him to start the company Triple Squirrels and the EVRGRN channel, focusing on sharing stories that bring us inspiration, light and hope. This conversation is one that all young actors can learn from, about how to approach their art and how to keep a positive attitude in such an up and down career, as Tom says "just keep movin' kid, just keep movin'...."

Song Exploder Mastermind Hrishikesh Hirway, on Being Disciplined, All The Way to the Top (Part II)

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
