Ep 149: Your Niche is YOU with Matt Gottesman

I'm delighted to share this incredible conversation with Matt Gottesman, a 2x founder, writer, and podcaster who's all about helping people embrace their authentic selves. He is the creator of The Niche is You™. In this episode, we dive deep into: • The power of embracing your unique niche (hint: it's YOU!) • Why following your intuition is crucial for success in business and life • The importance of creating and publishing your work, even when you don't feel ready • How to balance masculine and feminine energies in your creative process • The misconceptions about pursuing your passion and making money • Matt's journey into apparel design and his upcoming book Key takeaways: 1. Your niche is YOU. Embrace all aspects of yourself and go deep in the areas that light you up. 2. Take action to receive guidance. When you move, answers are delivered. 3. Don't wait for perfection – publish and promote your work consistently. 4. Pursuing your passion often means working harder, but it's a different kind of work that energizes you. 5. Success doesn't always mean building a billion-dollar company. Find what works for you and brings you joy. 6. Balance structure and surrender in your creative process. 7. Keep promoting your work – new people are always discovering you, and your existing audience needs reminders. I love how Matt emphasizes the importance of trusting yourself and following your intuition, even when it goes against conventional wisdom. His insights on balancing discipline with flow really resonated with me, and I think they'll be super helpful for you too! Remember, you have a unique gift that the world needs. I know I've said it many times, but the more the merrier. Don't be afraid to share it, even if it feels scary or uncertain at first. Keep creating, keep promoting, and trust that you're on the right path. I can't wait to hear how this episode inspires you to embrace your authentic self and pursue your passions!

About Matt:

Matt is a 2x founder, writer and podcaster. He’s also an agile digital marketer and strategist by trade with a background in helping some of the world’s most iconic brands such as Louis Vuitton Moet Hennessy and more.

However, nearly a decade ago he decided to reconstruct his own narrative by taking to the Internet to create, build and publish to the world to communicate to the masses at the intersection of culture, creativity, spirituality and entrepreneurship. He speaks to over 250K people monthly and has amassed a global audience that reaches 10.5M+ people per month.

He loves business, spirituality and exploring personal development and human optimization because he believes all of these help us become better people creating more intentional impact in the world.

He runs The Niche is You™ (a weekly newsletter on Substack), which has also become his personal (and 2nd) podcast, The Niche Is You™ (Top 1%) as a way to help people break from the “system” to expand more on themselves through their collective work, art and passions with the goal of bringing more ownership and sovereignty back to the individual.

In short, he felt that choosing a niche can feel like life or death until you realize the niche is you.
