The Niche Is You

Matthew Gottesman

Hi, I’m Matt Gottesman (@mattgottesman on Instagram) and this is my daily podcast where I offer practical thoughts and perspectives to un-complicate life, creativity and the pursuit of your highest self. Instead of choosing one niche for the podcast, I decided that the niche is you… a simple, straight forward show about the power of not boxing yourself into any one category, title or niche, but embracing all of your gifts, having a better relationship with yourself and trusting your path (intuition). I’m not a "category" expert, just someone sharing my thoughts, perspectives and experiences on topics that really matter to promote a life of health, wealth, happiness & personal fulfillment.

    Your Boundaries Aren't Hurting People — They're Revealing Who Was Benefiting From You Having None

    In this episode we’ll talk about: Why setting boundaries so often gets confused with hurting people — when what's really happening is that boundaries are exposing dynamics that were never sustainable in the first place, and why the discomfort others feel is not the same thing as harm being done to themThe specific way that a lack of boundaries quietly benefits certain people in your life — and why the loudest resistance to your new limits almost always comes from the ones who were quietly gaining the most from your old lack of themWhy the people who genuinely love you will adjust to your boundaries — even if imperfectly — and the people who resist them completely are showing you something important about the actual nature of the relationshipHow to recognize the difference between a boundary that's hurting someone and a boundary that's just inconveniencing someone who was used to unlimited access — because those two things get conflated constantly and the confusion keeps a lot of people from setting the limits they needWhat becomes possible when you finally stop apologizing for the limits that were always yours to set — and how the relationships that survive that shift become the ones actually worth havingAnd more… START HERE… → Join The Niche Is You® — my Substack (20K+) — Weekly essays, the full workshop library, the private community + the Quarterly Challenges. → https://mattgottesman.substack.com/about NEW HERE… → 6 Days to Clarity Workshop — clarity for your time, energy, money, creativity, work & play. → https://mattgottesman.com/reverse-engineer-your-life (FREE) CONNECT WITH ME… → Instagram — @mattgottesman → TikTok — @mattgottesman → YouTube — @mattgottesman RESOURCES… → Write • Design • Build — my Content Creator Studio & OS masterclass (Included when you join my Substack) — Growing the niche of you, your audience, reach, voice, passion & income — CLICK HERE → Recommended Book List — CLICK HERE → Apparel — thenicheisyou.com OTHER RELATED EPISODES: Faith Isn’t Knowing the Whole Path… It’s Taking the Next Honest Step Apple: https://apple.co/3MB62Iu Spotify: https://bit.ly/4rZw3RN

    Anyone Can Stand Beside You — The Person For You Will Protect Your Assignment

    In this episode we’ll talk about: Why chemistry, connection, and attraction matter… but why they were never designed to be the primary filter for who you build a life with, and how using them as the primary filter often leads to relationships that struggle to hold what you're actually trying to buildThe concept of stewardship in relationships… what it means when one person is entrusted with the assignment God placed in the other, and why the right partner recognizes that assignment before they recognize anything elseWhy this principle isn't gendered… it applies equally to how a man chooses a woman and how a woman chooses a man, because both people are carrying something God placed inside them that requires stewardship from the otherThe specific signs of a partner who's built to steward the assignment… the way they treat what you're carrying, the way they protect your peace, the way they multiply what you build instead of consuming itWhat it means to choose from a place of purpose rather than a place of chemistry… and why doing this changes not just your relationship but the entire trajectory of your legacyAnd more… START HERE… → Join The Niche Is You® — my Substack (20K+) — Weekly essays, the full workshop library, the private community + the Quarterly Challenges. → https://mattgottesman.substack.com/about NEW HERE… → 6 Days to Clarity Workshop — clarity for your time, energy, money, creativity, work & play. → https://mattgottesman.com/reverse-engineer-your-life (FREE) CONNECT WITH ME… → Instagram — @mattgottesman → TikTok — @mattgottesman → YouTube — @mattgottesman RESOURCES… → Write • Design • Build — my Content Creator Studio & OS masterclass (Included when you join my Substack) — Growing the niche of you, your audience, reach, voice, passion & income — CLICK HERE → Recommended Book List — CLICK HERE → Apparel — thenicheisyou.com OTHER RELATED EPISODES: Faith Isn’t Knowing the Whole Path… It’s Taking the Next Honest Step Apple: https://apple.co/3MB62Iu Spotify: https://bit.ly/4rZw3RN

    What It Actually Looks Like to Surrender Your Plans to God

    In this episode we’ll talk about: Why most of what we call "surrender" isn't actually surrender… it's negotiation dressed up in spiritual language, and how that quietly keeps us stuck in the same season for yearsThe specific difference between surrendering the vision and surrendering control of how the vision arrives… a distinction that changes everything about how you walk through your assignmentWhy the plans, ideas, and expectations you're holding onto are often the very things standing between you and what God is actually trying to give youWhat real surrender actually looks like in practice… the daily posture, the specific release, and the trust required underneath bothHow to recognize when you've moved from surrender back into control… and how to gently return to trust without shameAnd more… START HERE… → Join The Niche Is You® — my Substack (20K+) — Weekly essays, the full workshop library, the private community + the Quarterly Challenges. → https://mattgottesman.substack.com/about NEW HERE… → 6 Days to Clarity Workshop — clarity for your time, energy, money, creativity, work & play. → https://mattgottesman.com/reverse-engineer-your-life (FREE) CONNECT WITH ME… → Instagram — @mattgottesman → TikTok — @mattgottesman → YouTube — @mattgottesman RESOURCES… → Write • Design • Build — my Content Creator Studio & OS masterclass (Included when you join my Substack) — Growing the niche of you, your audience, reach, voice, passion & income — CLICK HERE → Recommended Book List — CLICK HERE → Apparel — thenicheisyou.com OTHER RELATED EPISODES: Faith Isn’t Knowing the Whole Path… It’s Taking the Next Honest Step Apple: https://apple.co/3MB62Iu Spotify: https://bit.ly/4rZw3RN

    In this episode we’ll talk about: Why the feeling of being "behind" is one of the most common and misinterpreted experiences of the modern eraHow the timelines we've inherited are almost entirely borrowed — and often unrelated to the actual work of building something realWhy the people who are building something meaningful almost always feel behind while they're doing itThe difference between measurable progress and structural progressHow to reinterpret the feeling of being behind as evidence that something real is being builtWhat becomes possible when you stop measuring your life against timelines that were never yoursAnd more… START HERE… → Join The Niche Is You® — my Substack (20K+) — Weekly essays, the full workshop library, the private community + the Quarterly Challenges. → https://mattgottesman.substack.com/about NEW HERE… → 6 Days to Clarity Workshop — clarity for your time, energy, money, creativity, work & play. → https://mattgottesman.com/reverse-engineer-your-life (FREE) CONNECT WITH ME… → Instagram — @mattgottesman → TikTok — @mattgottesman → YouTube — @mattgottesman RESOURCES… → Write • Design • Build — my Content Creator Studio & OS masterclass (Included when you join my Substack) — Growing the niche of you, your audience, reach, voice, passion & income — CLICK HERE → Recommended Book List — CLICK HERE → Apparel — thenicheisyou.com OTHER RELATED EPISODES: Faith Isn’t Knowing the Whole Path… It’s Taking the Next Honest Step Apple: https://apple.co/3MB62Iu Spotify: https://bit.ly/4rZw3RN

    The God Who Called You to This Isn't Going to Abandon You in the Middle of It

    In this episode we’ll talk about: Why we default to fear that God will leave us halfway through what God started in usThe biblical pattern of calling always including the sustenance to complete itWhy the middle of the journey is where doubt shows up loudest — and how to interpret that doubtHow to recognize the provision that's been there the whole timeWhy the discomfort of the middle isn't a sign God has abandoned you — it's a sign the work is realWhat becomes possible when you finally trust that the God who called you is the same God carrying youAnd more… START HERE… → Join The Niche Is You® — my Substack (20K+) — Weekly essays, the full workshop library, the private community + the Quarterly Challenges. → https://mattgottesman.substack.com/about NEW HERE… → 6 Days to Clarity Workshop — clarity for your time, energy, money, creativity, work & play. → https://mattgottesman.com/reverse-engineer-your-life (FREE) CONNECT WITH ME… → Instagram — @mattgottesman → TikTok — @mattgottesman → YouTube — @mattgottesman RESOURCES… → Write • Design • Build — my Content Creator Studio & OS masterclass (Included when you join my Substack) — Growing the niche of you, your audience, reach, voice, passion & income — CLICK HERE → Recommended Book List — CLICK HERE → Apparel — thenicheisyou.com OTHER RELATED EPISODES: Faith Isn’t Knowing the Whole Path… It’s Taking the Next Honest Step Apple: https://apple.co/3MB62Iu Spotify: https://bit.ly/4rZw3RN
