After a producer recently unfollowed Matt on Instagram, we unpack what that really means and why it’s important not to attach your self-worth to who supports or engages with your work publicly. Not everyone who unfollows you dislikes you, sometimes your content just isn’t what they’re looking for right now, and that’s okay.We also explore how to use these moments as fuel to push harder toward your goals and create undeniable work. From maintaining a positive mindset to being your own biggest fan, this episode is all about separating validation from value, and focusing on what really moves your career forward.Plus, we break down a standout photography project featuring Matthew McConaughey, and Matt shares his upcoming travel plans to New York City.CHAPTERS00:00 - Intro14:20 - Creative of the week breakdown (Greg Swales) & Matthew McConaughey23:40 - Navigating professional relationships online33:50 - Make work so good they can’t ignore you36:10 - Being your own biggest fanSTAY CONNECTED WITH US!Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/lateinvoices/⁠⁠Newsletter⁠⁠: https://linktr.ee/lateinvoices?utm_source=linktree_profile_shareSpotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/3LHl6iPM84u6L0oBsPWrYb?si=9TzClF-5RZm7GmodEFgElQ
