Creativity, Discipline & Done is Better Than Perfect with Matt Farley

This week's guest is Matt Farley – an incredibly prolific musician, filmmaker, author and podcaster. We discuss the US Postal Service, DIY filmmaking, the enduring popularity of poop, and the unfortunate homogenization of America.

You can learn more about Matt and experience more of his work at his website, moternmedia.com, or by searching for your name (with or without poop) on your favorite music listening platform.

Here's a link to Matt performing with his band on NPR's World Cafe a few months ago: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5VI4JgNbomU&t=563s

And here's the New York Times profile on Matt from 2024: https://www.nytimes.com/2024/03/31/magazine/spotify-matt-farley.html?unlocked_article_code=1.WU8.7Mba.c2GuW3RwvoPS&smid=url-share
