About this episode
Matt Stone announces a shift to a weekly podcast format while introducing a new series and reflecting on historical events.
After six months of daily episodes, Matt is making a change. This pod is shifting to a weekly Friday cadence — a backstage-style check-in built for summarizing the week’s learnings, previewing what’s next, and pulling listeners deeper into the journey. The daily format helped build the stage. Now the stage is set, and it’s a different game. In this midweek bonus, Matt also unveils Iconic Conversations — a new application-only series capped at 21 people, kicking off May 28th with messaging expert Shannon Hernandez. Plus a quick trip through May 6th history (the Chunnel, Babe Ruth’s first home run, and the patenting of the ice machine) and a question worth sitting with: where are you focusing your own clarity and power? This is a public episode. If you would like to discuss this with other subscribers or get access to bonus episodes, visit mattstone.substack.com
