Today’s episode is all about self-acceptance and facing our fears on our path to creating a life that is true to ourselves. In this insightful conversation, Matt and Zac Hodge talk openly and vulnerably about how it feels to confront our inner truth. They discuss the importance of being honest with ourselves and working with our fears instead of resisting them. 

Zac works at PwC. He is interested in moviemaking, reading and gardening, and he has a visceral passion for making a difference in the world.

“You know deep down what is the right path for you, what you want, it's more the point of acknowledging that and embracing it rather than resisting it.”

Join us in this thought-provoking episode and let yourself be inspired by Zac’s path towards self-acceptance, and his courage to explore his inner world.

About Matt:

Although I was born on the 23rd February 1980, my life only really got started on the 23rd February 2010. Until that point, I felt lost, disorientated and afraid. That day, life called time on my self-obfuscating ways. And I finally came to see that I wasn’t lost in life, I’d lost touch with my true self. 

I discovered that Authenticity was about authorship, so today me and my team are on a mission to create a world where every human being is encouraged and supported to create a life that’s true to themselves. 

I live in Melbourne, Australia. I’m married to a hunky doctor called Fil and together we have a beautiful son called Niko.
