The GOOD AF Podcast led by L.A. local content creator, influencer and adventurer, Matthew Nadu, celebrates and highlights men from different walks of life doing good across a variety of industries. The show strives to have an uplifting and entertaining narrative. Matthew invites guests to share their stories through a casual dialogue that entertains and engages his listeners. The overall tone of the show is inspirational and authentic with a dose of humor tossed in. A recurring theme of the show is the topic of confidence: was there a time that these inspiring men had to grapple with a lack of confidence and ultimately, how they overcame their personal challenges.
Why do we take ourselves so seriously? In the age of social media and perceived perfection it’s easy to lose sight of your inner child. In this episode of GOOD AF author and creative Maceo Paisley asks himself that question regularly and then takes a deep dive into that fear of potential rejection. On the other side is freedom and opportunity one could only dream of which has put him on some of the biggest stages revealing some of ...

Justin Trout
Co-Founder of Health-Ade Kombucha
When’s the last time you listened to that gut feeling?

When is the last time you’ve been fired from a job? How did you handle it? This week’s guest screenwriter Charlie Wachtel knows the feeling.

Interview with BC Serna
Traveler, Film Maker, Inspirational Speaker and Mentor

I’ll never be the best-looking person in the room, I’ll never be the richest person in the room, I’ll never be the most successful person in the room but I could be t...

Coffee Connoisseur / Co-Founder of La Colombe Coffee
“This guy put seven, SEVEN, Sweet & Lows in a super short espresso. I mean it’s like listen- don’t. Don’t. Don’t drink anything then. It’s better. Just leave it alone. And I’m like dude, tasting’s over… and I took the coffee and it was over and we didn’t serve him coffee. It was just too much.”

Interview with Sevag Kazanci

“It was this reality that man, this is a hustle, you just don’t show up with a phenomenal idea and people buy into it…”

Mike Escamilla
Two-Time World Record holder, Pro-BMXer, Stuntman
“You start to understand it’s not about being good at anything, everyone’s always like ‘you’re really talented’ and I’m like ‘I’m not at all.’ Once you learn to get good at one thing, you can learn to get good at anything and apply that. That’s the key.”
From jumping out of planes, doing backflips from roofs (is that where he gets his nickname?) and going face-to-face...

Interview with Dan Doty
Founder of The Evryman
“There’s a lot of people right now that can point to the problem and point to an inspirational way to be but I don’t think there’s many people that show you how to actually learn to be more human.”
He’s big, he’s burly, he’s not the kind of guy you want to mess with - unless you’re on a wild pig hunt with the former wilderness guide- but Dan has a soft spot for men. They are hurting an...
Interview with Paul de Gelder
Adventurer, Shark-attack survivor, Shark week Host
“For the first week, I still had a thought that maybe I’ll keep my leg and I was just goal oriented. I was like ok, I’m missing my hand, I processed that. There’s nothing I can do about that but if I keep my leg, maybe life can go on as normal."
As if he’s come right out of a Hollywood action blockbuster, the Australian native went from a drug-fuel...

Rewarded for bravery that goes above and beyond the call of duty, the Medal of Honor is the United States’ top military decoration. The stories we tell are about the heroes who have distinguished themselves by acts of heroism and courage that have saved lives. From Judith Resnik, the second woman in space, to Daniel Daly, one of only 19 people to have received the Medal of Honor twice, these are stories about those who have done the improbable and unexpected, who have sacrificed something in the name of something much bigger than themselves. Every Wednesday on Medal of Honor, uncover what their experiences tell us about the nature of sacrifice, why people put their lives in danger for others, and what happens after you’ve become a hero. Special thanks to series creator Dan McGinn, to the Congressional Medal of Honor Society and Adam Plumpton. Medal of Honor begins on May 28.
