CARLSBAD, Calif., Jan. 19, 2021 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Award-winning actor Matthew McConaughey joined master motivator Brian Buffini for an interview on “The Brian Buffini Show” podcast. They discussed McConaughey’s new memoir, “Greenlights,” as well as his journey to shed his romantic comedy image for his dynamic award-winning acting abilities. McConaughey shares what it was like to narrow his focus and pursue what makes him happy.
“It’s ingrained in us that more is better,” McConaughey says in the episode. “We all know that, to succeed, we need to do good, hard work. But is it the right kind of hard work?”
On the topic of his new memoir, McConaughey explained how people must experience the obstacles of red and yellow lights in order to “catch the greenlights” — the state of success that keeps us moving forward. As a real estate leader, Buffini also witnessed the need for this mindset. 2020 affected people in many different ways, he explains, and everyone could benefit from finding their next greenlight.
“I feel the timing for this book and this message are perfect because of where people are at,” Buffini says. “There’s a relentless positivity in the book while also being very real and very candid about your life.”
Other highlights of the interview include McConaughey’s connection to the influential personal growth book, “The Greatest Salesman in the World,” by Og Mandino, and his path toward self-discovery to find true happiness in his life, family and career.
Matthew McConaughey began his acting career in the early 1990s, and later went on to own the romantic comedy scene throughout the 2000s. He took a two-year sabbatical from acting in order to pursue more dramatic roles. He has since received multiple awards and nominations for his acting, including an Oscar and a Golden Globe for his performance in “Dallas Buyers Club.” His new memoir, “Greenlights,” has become a New York Times Bestseller.
