In this episode of Our Friendly World with Fawn and Matt, Matt explores the powerful impact of expectation on our lives—from groundbreaking psychology experiments to everyday interactions. He reflects on how believing in good fortune can shape outcomes, shift perspectives, and even change how others respond to us. Through stories about self-reinvention, blind dates, and dodging potholes—literally and metaphorically—Matt shares how we can get out of our own way and start expecting the good.
