An amazing life story on James Rolfe

I've always known James as the nerd, and know he likes to keep his private life, well... private. But getting a glimpse into it is really inspiring. I don't share the experience of him going after what he's always loved as a kid, but James leaves you with a powerful message that no matter how old you are, it's never too late to live like that kid and find that spark in your life---regardless of your hurdles.
Overall, a great listen if you want to know a bit more about James' story and how he got into filmmaking. I think this was narrated well. I always enjoy his commentary on a variety of topics and just hearing his ups and downs was both captivating and hilarious at times! Thanks James.

I’ve been in this life for fifty years, been trying to work out its riddle for forty-two, and been keeping diaries of clues to that riddle for the last thirty-five. Notes about successes and failures, joys and sorrows, things that made me marvel, and things that made me laugh out loud. How to be fair. How to have less stress. How to have fun. How to hurt people less. How to get hurt less. How to be a good man. How to have meaning in life. How to be more me. Recently, I worked up the courage to sit down with those diaries.

An inspiring story of following your dreams

An amazing book on the life story of Matthew and his pursuit in acting. This is my second listen of the book so I made sure to write down what I found important for myself. It goes over his family life, the early parts of his acting career all the way to today---and some pitstops on the way. The main point of the book is one thing: Whether it's a bad circumstance or not quite what you were hoping for, keep chasing what you love and be radically positive. Be a bit more selfish than selfless and leave your mark in the world. I think there are things you can definitely incorporate into your life and live by in your own way if you want great change.
Greenlight!
