Matthew Blade is a bit of an anomaly. Once the guy terrified of public speaking, to now an actor based out of Los Angeles with a bachelors in the arts. He loves inspiring others to live a life of honesty, courage, and faith.
Matthew and I discuss his journey moving from Mississippi to California to pursue acting. He opens up on how his life changed through direct honesty with himself.
"Questions to Ask Yourself" from the interview
1. What have I overcome that formerly defined me?
2. What is influencing my decisions? The Crowd or My Convictions?
3. Am I afraid of being honest with myself?
4. When have I been good with being me when I expect opposition?
5. How have I attacked shame in my life?
