The Man Who Saved The Book (Derin Emre)

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!

We show you the hard parts of our relationship and we also share what we mean to each other. There’s so much here. Per usual, I think you’ll love it. Thanks for being here.

Yes Theory’s first and only investor (Tom Wright)

Newsletter: http://www.mattdahlia.substack.com Preorder the book: http://www.seekdiscomfort.com/book Preorder the book in EU: https://tinyurl.com/35c4npdy Hello you lovely people, What you’re about to watch is the equivalent of finding a never-seen-before species in the wild. 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

A conversation with my older brothers (The Buried Life)

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

A Pause...

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

We need to be reminded of what our soul wants instead of what we think is right, or safe. There is nothing more exciting than the feeling of uncertainty.

Due to the pandemic, the University course I had set my sights on had been cancelled, I have been struggling with my final school exams and all my friends are being accepted into university while I’m not even sure what to study anymore. My future was, for sure, uncertain. Arthur’s “symptoms of uncertainty” fit me perfectly - I had taken the route of activity avoiding the issue. Instead of looking for similar University courses, I would sit and scroll aimlessly through social media to distract myself. I was waking up from under an hours sleep to go to school where I would sit, waiting to go home, just to dread the next day. Arthur’s words moved me. Specifically the words of his friend “I refuse to waste the gift that is today” I have written this in past tense because as of now, that’s what it is. Tomorrow I will wake up and I will acknowledge the gift that I have been given. I will acknowledge that I am in good health and I will push to make positive change on my life. This is a chance for change. My two words, Thank you.
