In this episode of Thank You For Saying NO, we welcome back the incredible Matt Marr! An actor, therapist, and host of the hit comedy podcast Reality Gays—and even an opera singer. Matt’s journey is filled with unexpected twists, NO moments, and powerful lessons. We dive into his “superpower” of empathy and how it has guided him through life’s pivots, from studying opera to becoming a therapist and launching the Dear Mattie podcast, which led to surprising opportunities. We also explore the creation of Reality Gays, how it aligns with his passions, and the life-changing rejection that ultimately shaped his path. With humor, heart, and hard-won wisdom, Matt’s story is a reminder that every NO can lead to an even greater YES. Tune in for an inspiring conversation!
