Hi friends, Thomas and Staffan here and welcome to our new podcast. Thank you so much for being here and listening. This is not only a very personal topic close to our hearts, but also one I know many of you watching have or are currently experiencing. Grief is all around us, yet we're afraid to talk about it, acknowledge that it's there and helping each other through it. May this be a place that we can come together as humans to hang, discuss and go deeper about life and all it's mysteries.

Thank you for everything. I will love you forever…and ever. -Matt Link to review book: https://tinyurl.com/2y7ts3ry Link to newsletter: http://www.mattdahlia.substack.com Get a signed copy of ‘Talk To Strangers’ here: http://www.seekdiscomfort.com/book

Link to buy book: https://www.yestheorybook.com/ Link to review book (means the world!): https://tinyurl.com/2y7ts3ry Hi guys, The book launched four days ago and the support from this community has been unbelievable. Thank you to each and everyone of you who ordered. Your support doesn’t go unnoticed. It truly is life changing for me. I’m already getting so many positive messages from so many of you who binged it (some of you in just a few hours!), and it’s just the best. Alrigthty, here is a podcast I did about a month ago in Montreal with my best friend and co-writer of Talk To Strangers, Mr. Derin Emre. Derin is just the best. He doesn’t hold back and in this one we go into where we went after leaving Yes Theory, what it was like tackling such a daunting project together, and our honest opinions about the book. Prepare yourself for one hell of an honest and hilarious conversation. Love you all!

This year Staffan Taylor became a full-time host and member of Yes Theory. He embodies the Yes Theory philosophy more than anyone I’ve ever met. There’s so much in this conversation that Staffan and I have never shared that will remind anyone watching and/or struggling that they are not alone and things will get better. Alrighty, that’s enough from me. Enjoy the pod! Love ya, Matt

Very few people have shaped Yes Theory as much as Tom. Yet no one outside of our inner circle knows about Tom. Tom is very private. He likes being behind the scenes. He’s like Charlie from Charlie’s Angels. Tom has also never done a podcast. So this is really really special…a moment I’ll cherish for the rest of my life. We recorded this conversation a few months ago in his home of Brighton, UK. I think you’re going to love it. -Matt PS - DECEMBER 3RD IS SO CLOSE. If you haven’t pre-ordered yet, you’re missing out on our Live Q&A coming up soon :) www.yestheorybook.com

Newsletter: http://www.mattdahlia.substack.com Preorder the book: http://www.seekdiscomfort.com/book Preorder the book in EU: https://tinyurl.com/35c4npdy Hey everyone, So happy to be back with you. Two quick things: - We have a new book launch date: December 3rd - We will now be releasing two podcasts a week (Mondays and Thursdays) - With everything happening in the world, the guys and I want to give back financially to foundations focused on children affected by war. More on that soon. Alright, now this podcast… Ben and Dave, my two guests, are not only my close friends but also my biggest inspirations. When I was 19 I came across a show called The Buried Life. It was about four best friends (Ben, Dave, Duncan and Jonnie) crossing off their bucket list and helping others to do the same. The Buried Life became the seed and catalyst for Yes Theory, as you’ll learn about in this episode and the book. Getting to sit down with them to do this was a dream come true. 19 year old Matt would be bugging out if he saw this :) I hope you’ll get as much out of this conversation as I did. SO many gems!! Love, Matt

Hey everyone, We’re putting everything on pause due to what’s happening in the Middle East. The team and I are figuring out how to act in a constructive way that is aligned with Yes Theory’s value of love over fear. Sending you all so much love. -Matt

Hey all, Matt here :) Thanks for tuning in once again. Today is a very exciting day…We are FINALLY showing you the book cover. But that’s not all. In this podcast I sit down with Dez. Dez is Yes Theory’s social media editor and the brains behind the whole promotion of this book. She even designed the cover with me. All of this to say, I wouldn’t be here without her. In this episode you’ll get to hear about what the past year has been like for us as we’ve worked to get this book out to all of you. Hope you enjoy it! And let us know what you think of the cover in the comments!! Love, Matt

Newsletter: http://www.mattdahlia.substack.com Preorder the book: http://www.seekdiscomfort.com/book Preorder the book in EU: https://tinyurl.com/35c4npdy Hey everyone, Thomas and I have worked through a lot behind the scenes, especially in the past six months. It’s been really challenging, and at times our relationship was in serious jeopardy. Thankfully, we’ve gotten through it. In this podcast, we dive into all of it. Not just our relationship, but also how we see the world, advice for someone in their 20’s or 30’s, and reflections on our Yes Theory experience. I’m very grateful this is real life. That my best friend and I get to do this. Relationships take work, especially through big changes, and this one has been no different. I hope you’ll get something out of this for your own life and for your ties with those closest to you. Thank you for the support. Sending you all love, Matt Timecodes: 0:00 Intro 1:25 Podcast begins, addressing the nerves 6:07 Thomas turning 30 & setting goals 17:14 Power of intention 27:35 Thomas’ first heartbreak & motivation it gave him 37:45 Change yourself = Change the world 41:40 Fear of things falling apart 47:58 The struggles of our relationship the past three years 50:30 Matt explains his gradual decision to leave 56:40 Filming our first video after 3 years 1:02:55 Thomas and Ammar’s perspective on Matt leaving 1:07:28 Reconnecting & evolving in our relationship 1:20:30 Dealing with fame 1:29:30 What Matt saw in Thomas from the beginning 1:31:19 Thomas’ reflections on the book
