In this powerful conversation, Matthias Schmitt—entrepreneur, investor coach, and creator of his own transformational method—opens up about his journey from adrenaline-fueled success to inner emptiness, and the breakthrough that reshaped his life.
Matthias shares how chasing the next deal, the next high, and the next “you’re the man” left him successful on the outside but disconnected inside. A meditation-led retreat became the turning point, opening the door to emotional literacy, nervous-system capacity, and true embodiment of values.
One of his greatest lessons: sometimes you must step away from the life you’ve built in order to see the patterns you’re trapped in. By creating distance, you can finally recognize where you’ve been betraying yourself, disconnect from the cycles of fear and performance, and reconnect with who you truly are.
Together, we explore:
- How to recognize when “success” is actually a mask for avoidance.
- The cost of betraying yourself just to belong.
- Why values alignment is more than a concept—it’s a daily embodiment.
- The necessity of stepping away to see and release old patterns.
- The shift from living out of needs and fear to creating joy in the present moment.
- Building a legacy not by what you leave behind, but by how you love and decide today.
This is a deep dive into truth, integrity, and the courage it takes to stop outsourcing your worth—and start living unmistakably alive.

With love

Join host Johnny Knoxville as he unspools a wild and woolly tale about a group of regular ‘ol folks who risked it all for a chance at a better life. CrimeLess: Hillbilly Heist answers the question: what would you do with 17.3 million dollars? The answer includes diamond rings, mansions, velvet Elvis paintings, plus a run for the border, murder-for-hire-plots, and FBI busts.
