"It's not what you are doing, it's how you are approaching it. So if you approach that job like an actor or writer, it's what I told Erin Galvin years ago when she was coming to my classes in LA and she was doing a temp job. And she would come in and start telling me about the thing and she was making us laugh. And I'm like that's the show, or movie, you should be writing!"

Today’s episode was ripped directly from one of our 10,000 NOs Working Actors Community weekly zooms where Matt addresses the challenges that face our members. Today, we discuss how even when you are doing your side gig or side hustle, there's opportunity to be creative. Your personal life experiences outside of acting will feed you so much material if you choose to look for it. So even when you're at your job and wishing you were on set, remember that it is still serving you. Compile those funny stories, the crazy thing that happened during your shift, or how you boss treated you and use it to tell your next story. It can be funny, relatable, and most importantly uniquely yours to tell.

10,000 NOs is here to inspire you and help you realize you are not alone if you’re battling to overcome rejection in your career or life.

So, if you’re an actor, writer or filmmaker and you like what you hear in the snippets from our Working Actors Community zooms enough to want to be a part of it, CLICK HERE.

Remember, “failure” is just opportunity in disguise, and you can flip the script to make your setbacks serve you.
