Matt Fraser is America’s top psychic medium, a New York Times bestselling author, and star of the hit television series Meet the Frasiers. In this episode, Matt shares how he went from working as an EMT to building a career around his ability to connect with people and help them through loss. He explains why fear and self-doubt are often the biggest obstacles to making more money, how to identify your natural talents, and why taking small steps toward the things that fulfill you can open doors you never expected. On this episode we talk about: Matt’s first job at Abercrombie & Fitch and the lessons it taught him about earning money How Matt discovered and eventually embraced his abilities as a psychic medium Why fear, self-doubt, and a lack of confidence keep people from pursuing their talents How to get unstuck by changing your environment, making time for what fulfills you, and taking baby steps How to distinguish your genuine talents from expectations placed on you by family or society Why following your own path can lead to both greater success and fulfillment How Matt turned individual readings into live events, television, books, podcasts, and a full-time career Why focusing on helping people and enjoying the journey can be more valuable than obsessing over money How to recognize signs and synchronicities from loved ones who have passed away The importance of finding your tribe and surrounding yourself with people who encourage your growth Top 3 Takeaways Fear is often the biggest obstacle. You may already have the talent, idea, or ability you need, but self-doubt can prevent you from ever putting it into the world. Start with baby steps. You don't need to know exactly where your path will lead. Start talking about your idea, get feedback, and take small actions that move you forward. Follow what fulfills you. Develop your talents, help people, build something meaningful, and enjoy the journey. The money can follow when you're creating real value. Notable Quotes “The number one thing that stops people from making money is really that they're afraid.” “All it takes is one reason. One reason on why it will work for you, and you will get there.” “You can't be focused on, you know, making the money, making the money, making the money. You're gonna be focused on helping as many people as you can, enjoying what you're doing, building something great, and the money will come.” Connect with Matt Fraser: Website: meetmattfraser.com Instagram: @meetmattfraser Live Tour: Tour dates are available through Matt’s website A Word from Our Sponsors: - The most successful business owners don't do it all themselves — they delegate.
