Back cover copy

PRAISE FOR 10,000 NOs "This book feels like the perfect companion to the way Matt conducted himself every time we've collaborated: honest, open, thoughtful, prepared, humble, and professional. If you're an actor looking to advance through your own tough journey or anyone looking to overcome adversity and challenges, I highly suggest reading 10,000 NOs." —LAWRENCE TRILLING, Director/Producer, Showrunner, Goliath, Parenthood "Being told 'No' and getting doors slammed in your face is part of playing the game. It's what you do with all those 'NOs' that will ultimately determine if you expand into your greatest potential. Listen to every insightful word Matthew has to say — it's a recipe for success." —SUZY BATIZ, Founder/CEO, Poo-pourrie, Forbes' America's Richest Self-Made Women "I've known Matt since I was 20 years old. He's always been a rock for me. There's no one better to write a book on resilience and perseverance. Every time I think he just may get snuffed out by another 'No', he pops back up and keeps marching forward." —CHRIS MESSINA, Actor, Argo, Sharp Objects, Julie & Julia, Vicky Christina Barcelona, The Mindy Project "I loved this book! 10,000 NOs is a giant 'Yes'. It's a must-read for anyone who has to overcome rejection to succeed: everyone." —JON GORDON, New York Times bestselling author, The Energy Bus "I had known Matt's work from Scandal but when we met, he was so different from the character he played and so full of warmth and humility. That same humanity exists on his podcast and every page of this book. It's as if he doesn't realize the rock star he is, so he convinces you to believe you can be one, too." —SIRI LINDLEY, World Champion Triathlete, bestselling author, Surfacing "10,000 NOs is a road map to learn how to deal with rejection and negativity and still drive forward and overcome. Matt's story, coupled with so many other amazing individuals', is proof that success exists beyond the darkness. This book inspires us to believe that beyond the 10,000 'NOs', a 'Yes' is waiting." —JASON REDMAN, Retired Navy SEAL, New York Times bestselling author, The Trident
