058: The Real Cost of Saying Yes

https://www.BackTheRide.comMy Personal Channelhttps://www.youtube.com/@mattkingatx Today I talk about the one moment that actually matters—the moment you say something out loud and it becomes real. I break down why the hardest part isn’t doing the work, it’s living in the loop of “should I or shouldn’t I.” I also get honest about what commitment really costs—your time, your identity, and the low days nobody prepares you for. If you’ve been circling something, this is your push to stop thinking and finally decide.Listen On Spotify & Apple https://tr.ee/ta0ZzUejCIConnect With MattWebsite: http://themattking.com/ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/mattking.atx TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@mattking.atx LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/kingmatthewr/ #gobundance #podcast The Tribe of High-Performing Men: http://gobundance.com/tribe

My Personal Channelhttps://www.youtube.com/@mattkingatx I pulled together some of the most powerful moments from conversations with Hal, Garrain, and Preston around adversity, mindset, and rebuilding your life from nothing. What stood out to me is how each of them faced moments where everything could have ended—but instead became the turning point. We talk about suicide, cancer, losing everything, and what it actually takes to come back stronger. If you’ve ever questioned whether you can turn things around, this is for you.Full Interviewshttps://youtu.be/7uC29jfCxog https://youtu.be/JaBCKDavahohttps://youtu.be/Jo5RlDWgEDgListen On Spotify & Apple https://tr.ee/ta0ZzUejCIConnect With MattWebsite: http://themattking.com/ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/mattking.atx TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@mattking.atx LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/kingmatthewr/ #gobundance #podcast The Tribe of High-Performing Men: http://gobundance.com/tribe

Today I sit down with Taylor Prokes, co-founder of The Big Ass Calendar and CEO of Jesse Itzler's company The 100 Mile Group. We get into what it actually looks like to build a life most people think is “lucky.” We talk about creating your own opportunities, why embarrassment is often the price of entry, and how doing hard things leads to unexpected doors opening. What stood out to me most is how intentional she is about designing her life. From endurance challenges to building community and business through fun.

Learn About theRide: http://backtheride.com/ Today I sit down with the crew behind this 2,000-mile ride after our first brutal training camp. We talk about what actually went wrong, what surprised us, and what it really takes to execute something this extreme. What stood out to me most is how much this comes down to people. Having the right team, the right mindset, and the willingness to suffer for something bigger than yourself. If you want to understand what this journey is really going to look like, this is the behind-the-scenes.Watch The Matt King Show On YouTubehttps://youtu.be/uO6QRnlckFYMy Personal Channelhttps://www.youtube.com/@mattkingatx Connect With MattWebsite: http://themattking.com/ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/mattking.atx TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@mattking.atx LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/kingmatthewr/ #gobundance #podcast The Tribe of High-Performing Men: http://gobundance.com/tribe

My Personal Channelhttps://www.youtube.com/@mattkingatx I set out to run 100 miles with zero training… and it turned into a 40-mile walk through the woods. In this episode, I break down the hard lessons I learned about ambition, preparation, failure, and what quitting actually means.This experience forced me to confront how I set goals—and where I was lying to myself. If you’ve ever pushed yourself toward something big, this will change how you think about the process.Connect With MattWebsite: http://themattking.com/ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/mattking.atx TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@mattking.atx LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/kingmatthewr/ #gobundance #podcast The Tribe of High-Performing Men: http://gobundance.com/tribe

I pulled together three of my favorite conversations around what it actually takes to start, endure pain, and stay in the fight when quitting feels easier. We talk about the moments that break people, the standards that keep you moving, and why real growth usually starts with the thing you’ve been avoiding. If you’re in a season where you need courage, this one will meet you there.Links To Full EpisodesMatt Johnson: https://open.spotify.com/episode/0l3vVPPUpqAKDawPsF2VXk?si=PRGzNPvxTJaWtBIDjdwIsATerrence Ogden: https://open.spotify.com/episode/2l0uKIhK7O68jg5dd1nonp?si=m-f5n7d7SkaKA75LpQqN8QRob Sembiante: https://open.spotify.com/episode/4JhbaYea78jWIK9qEY2N0M?si=kuWXvY4oRJyldPbBx5xUrAConnect With MattWebsite: http://themattking.com/ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/mattking.atx TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@mattking.atx LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/kingmatthewr/ #gobundance #podcast The Tribe of High-Performing Men: http://gobundance.com/tribe

I’m back in the saddle to talk about my most "delusional" goal yet: cycling 2,000 miles from Mexico to Canada in just 13 days to raise $1 million for underserved families across America. I’m pulling back the curtain on my training, from the "unsolicited advice" that almost derailed me to the makeshift bike-desk I built to ensure this mission doesn’t come at the expense of my family or business. I'll explain how I'm breaking down a massive, 150-mile-a-day hurdle into bite-sized "races," why I’m keeping a "Book of Receipts" for the doubters, and how we can all find a different level of obsession when our actions finally match our ambitions.Learn more about theRide: https://gobundance.com/therideConnect With MattWebsite: http://themattking.com/ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/mattking.atx TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@mattking.atx LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/kingmatthewr/ Watch more of Matt:https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCLV1o1AiDqYX8Na5qNsgeAQ#gobundance #theRide #podcast The Tribe of High-Performing Men: http://gobundance.com/tribe

Former Navy Diver Rob Sembiante doesn’t just handle pressure, he seeks it out. From the cramped hull of a nuclear submarine to surviving a near-death slide off a glacier in the Italian Dolomites, Rob has mastered the art of "controlled chaos" to reach elite levels of performance.In this episode, Matt and Rob dive into why voluntarily seeking discomfort is the ultimate hack for business and life. Rob shares how his military training helped him "tactically" take on Vegas, survive a 323-mile ultra-marathon, and why he treats every single day like "Day Zero."As the Crew Chief for theRide (Matt’s grueling Mexico-to-Canada cycling expedition), Rob explains the systems he uses to eliminate complacency and keep a high-performing team moving when things get "convoluted and distorted.Connect with Rob: https://www.instagram.com/rob.sembiante?igsh=MWp2OW55ZnJxOGppZw==Learn More About theRide: https://gobundance.com/therideConnect With MattYouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@mattkingatxInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/mattking.atxWebsite: http://themattking.com/The Tribe of High-Performing Men: http://gobundance.com/tribe#entrepreneur #navydiver #mentalperformance #mattkingshow #theride #gobundance #discipline
