As an actor, Matt Del Negro’s 10,000 Nos is my go-to podcast. He has walked the walk in the craft and the entertainment industry, and brings all those years and experiences to this venture. His transparency is so refreshing, opening a portal of learning, not only from his wealth of knowledge, but also from his many accomplished guests - actors, agents, managers, athletes, etc. Matt digs in and asks compelling questions that enlighten and empower, with the grace of his guests’ honesty and willingness to share. Each episode has much wisdom and rolls like a fabulous conversation - engaging, lively and informative. I highly recommend tuning in!

The podcast 10,000 No’s may be one of the best podcasts out there. Although most of his guests have an art background, this podcast (and his book by the same name) is for anyone who’s had to face doubt, obstacles, rejection, etc. attempting to reach their goals. I listen to many podcasts, and I find myself always coming back to 10,000 No’s.I’ve been in the acting business for about 13 years. I’ve been a principal actor in television as well as feature films, and I can tell you that what Matt talks about in his podcast hits home.He has a wide variety of guests, that are experienced in their field. Each one has a story to tell, interesting stories, and most importantly, none of their journeys was without obstacles. I highly recommend 10,000 No’s; both the podcast and the book. Time well spent.

Matt Del Negro’s 10,000 No’s is subject matter that comes from the mind and heart of someone who exemplifies the essence of a true actor , viewed through the lens of how the journey and business really work. However, the sage advice that come from his book & podcasts applies not only to just aspiring actors, but life in general for those seeking ways to self improve and manage challenges. A must read and even better listen when you hear it in the voice of Matt Del Negro himself! Bravo MDN! 🙏🏻❤️💪🏻

Matty is a skilled and effective interviewer and his guests and their stories are transforming. I listen to one episode each day, and have been doing so for weeks now. Thank you for your service, Matty!

It’s refreshing to have someone like Matt who is not scared of being vulnerable himself while asking good questions to pull the back curtain of the reality of peoples life and to give a reminder that we are all human. Highly recommend!

I usually think I am pretty motivated and have the inner to fire to accomplish my dream of being a great actor. But every fire needs stoked, needs fuel, need attention, or it fizzles out then you are cold and that is a terrible feeling. So add fuel and Matt’s podcast is a premium fuel! Pour it on and step the F back! Boom!

This podcast covers topics that are relevant for people of all ages, in all professions. I find the dialogue incredibly refreshing, informative and grounding. This is great to listen to if you’re feeling stuck, or if you want to hear impactful perspectives from people who have overcome challenges to become leaders in their field.

Can’t believe I hadn’t heard about this until Matt’s interview on “Back to One.” This is solid gold - you rarely hear shop-talk this detailed during interviews. The Mark O’Brien chat is one of the best I’ve heard.

This podcast is straight to the point, honest, insightful, and helpful. I feel like Matt (and his guests) get the daily grind we face as actors and speak directly to where we’re at. Thank you Matt for this. I especially enjoy the bite-sized Monday Morsels. ⭐️

Matt del Negro brings in a wide variety of guests from different industries including entertainment. While some of my favorites are from actors or producers, you’ll gain something regardless of what industry you’re in. Every episode is different so if you don’t love one episode, try another as someone else’s story about rejection, perseverance, or overcoming adversity is a much needed theme for most. If you need more inspiration for overcoming your “10,000 No’s”, this is the right podcast for you!

I’m late in listening to this April episode and as I shuffled through @10,000nos I’m so thrilled I landed on Matt’s interview w DB. The theme that really came through for me (because it’s what I needed today!) was FORTITUDE- courage, stick with it in the face of pain/adversity. The only negative about this podcast is that it continuously forces me to pause my walks to take notes!! Such a great format w impactful content. Dig your fire MDN..keep bringing the heat.

Matthew’s 10,000 No podcast is the positive vibe you didn’t know you needed. We all face adversity, be it a career, an injury, or something completely out of left field! His positive persistence in a career known for saying “No” is an inspiring story in and of itself. Here, Matt interviews people who also overcome all the No’s to persist in achieving their dreams. Don’t just survive, thrive! Matt and his guests will help you on your journey!

Ok, so I just started listening to this podcast. I began with this past week’s episode that featured Adrianne Haslet (Adrianne Haslet, Boston Strong: Marathon Bombing Survivor Refuses to Give Up Dream) because I follow her on Instagram and she is amazing! Honestly, that is why I began listening. But then I listened to a second episode from this week--“Take Action Now, Course-Correct Later, Monday Morsels”. I was both laughing hysterically and getting fired up—practically at the same time. I’m now hooked and will be binge listening over the next few weeks!

Listened for the first time and enjoyed it. Look forward to being a regular listener.

I honestly couldn’t rate this podcast high enough (and I’m not usually someone to leave reviews)!! Matt is one of the best interviewers I’ve ever met, as well as one of the most kind & genuine people I know - and his podcast is nothing short of that. He delivers real, practice tools that anyone can implement in any area of life. It’s a must listen!

10,000 Nos is something I look forward to every week! DelNegro does an excellent job of eliciting a full story from his guests and from himself about adversity and challenges in life. It is done artfully and with great authenticity. I listen to hundreds of podcasts and this is a real standout. Motivational and genuine. Excellent effort and a force as a multi faceted newcomer to the podcast world. Thanks

There’s just a simplicity about the conversations Matt has that make the episode so relatable and valuable to the listener. I appreciate that and would hope that would never change for its the greatest part of his show! Also his latest episode with athlete in foster care is by far the best.. 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻 🤣

Loved the rawness of the episode with Chuck MacLean. Favorite line “Next time you start your car will be the last time you start your car.” The podcast is absolutely inspiring, but what sets it apart is every guest’s guard seems to come down and they just talk like no one is listening.

THANK YOU. This is by far the most inspiring thing I have ever listened to. I find myself relating on a deep level to guests with a wide range of experiences and crying tears of inspiration. It always shifts my mindset to one of gratitude, giving me the feeling that I have the resilience to push through anything. I tell everyone about it because wow, it has helped me in my life so much. If you are out there and you only have time for one podcast in your life, THIS is the one!!!

Matt, You know this, but I can’t really accurately put into words how grateful I am that you had the balls to build this show. From the ground up. You listened to that inner voice, the dreamer in you, and followed through on something maximally meaningful in the face of fear. You’ve inspired me to do the same in my life. Thank you for the courage to take the risk. I cannot wait to see where all this goes. Thank you.

I really don’t like driving alone on long road trips ... but last weekend I found myself forced to make a 12-hour drive. I’m addicted to podcasts (haven’t turned on the radio in my car in the last 5 years), and never miss The West Wing Weekly. I heard about 10,000 No’s during Matthew’s appearance on TWWW, so I downloaded a few episodes for my road trip. Wonderful podcast!! Matthew is so down to earth, humble and grateful. His guests have great advice that each of us can use in our daily lives, both at work and at home. Highly recommended.

You might as well start listening now, because sooner or later every one of us lands in a situation that forces them to look for guidance, encouragement, wisdom, some form of support from someone they can trust, who has been in the trenches. Matt Del Negro is the person you’ll want to listen to.

This Podcast is great for ANYONE looking to change for the better. Matthew is a walking embodiment of humility, empathy, and wisdom. Please listen.

This podcast is incredible and I look forward to each episode. Matthew del Negro shows authenticity, humility and intelligence. He shares his strivings to perfect his craft and creates relatable moments and lessons. An excellent interviewer with a good sense of humor del Negro also draws the best insights from his guests.

Great insight and actionable takeaways. I love the switch between in-depth interviews and short solo episodes. Always great nuggets I can immediately implement!

I love the tactical, honest and real rawness Matthew delivers in this podcast. I hit subscribe and definitely can’t wait for the next show!!!

Loved listening to Terry’s interview. I’ve studied with Terry at the William Esper Studio and heading back to his masterclass at the TK Studio this summer but I’ve never heard his personal story before. It was great learning about him on a personal level and a great reminder what acting is all about. The importance of PLAY, being a passionate actor committing to excellence, studying behavior, telling stories, transforming, learning lines and being in therapy. Doing under imaginary circumstances 🙌🏼 So much insight you both have gifted us in this podcast and I’m so looking forward to listening to more of your episodes.

Love the theme and the delivery. Failure is no more stigmatized than in our school system. Thanks for providing thoughtful reflections from all walks of life that can serve as exemplars for our not-so-gritty youth. You’ve inspired me, Matt, to rethink how I teach.

Great podcast and super inspiring:) Love it! Keep it up!

I love hearing your podcast every Friday. Your commitment to getting it done no matter that it isn’t perfect or even ‘technically’ an interview has inspired me several times when I get stuck in the perils of perfection. Every time I hear your pod cast intro I think of my dear friend Cruise Bogle who moved past the “No” that most of us fear the most: paralyzed. He makes a living as a mouth painter and uses his platform to inspire others. He’s pure joy and I recommend him as your next interview. -Amanda

Just wanted to take the time to write a review for this podcast because I feel like it’s really helped me more so lately look at life through a different lens, introduce me to new inspiration, and overall has made a very positive impact in my life. Not only is Matt an awesome host and role model, but he brings people onto his show who truly want to give back to the world the best way each one of them knows how. Hearing these miraculous stories on how these individuals overcame all adversity by staying positive through the ups and downs is incredible. Love this podcast and will continue to listen to each new episode. Thanks for everything Matt!

I thought I was just going to listen to one or two episodes but I’ve found myself going through them all. Matthew gives his guests room to share their stories. Often focusing on how they overcame all their challenges before they found success. The poo-pourri episode was one of my favorites!

Love this podcast! Not only is Matthew open about his own personal journey, but he interviews others who have also overcome much fear and resistance. It’s very inspiring to listen to and it gives me hope in my own endeavors! The world needs more of this! Thank you 10,000 times!

I just wanted to say thanks for the podcasts! I really enjoy the show and the guests. I was particulary inspired by Jon Gordon's story about how his not being a good candidate for law school helped him find his true calling in life. The stories truly make you feel that anything is possible, for anyone, at any time. I love Matt's style of interviewing, he has a great voice and lets the story unfold in a nautual way. Please keep them coming!! Everyone I have recommended your podcasts to loves them :)

10,000 No’s is an incredible source of encouragement and vulnerability from wildly diverse folks. Go back to episode and listen to each episode. Matthew does Ana amazing job of digging in with people and is humble enough to morph and change things within himself and the podcast as he is exposed to the new perspectives of his guest.

This podcast completely changed my mindset about life. I started to listen to it looking for advice on rejection in the cinema industry as he was an actor going through the same hardship, but this podcast is so much more than that. I learned so much and am so inspired by all these stories about people overcoming challenges in life. It is priceless

I’ve been listening to this podcast for a while now and can honestly say it just keeps getting better and better. Matt is so engaged with his guests and always seems to bring out the best of their stories and the most relevant insights for any of us trying to create something good in the world while dealing with the hurdles of rejection and self-doubt. Keep up the great work, Matt!!

This podcast has quickly become on of my go-to's every week. Now with the addition of Monday Morsels it's gone to another level. The guests and the stories they have are truly remarkable. Matt's ability to relate and to make every episode conversational and less "interviewy" is what puts this show above the rest. Every episode provides inspiration, motivation and value.

I'm an avid Scandal watcher and have always loved Matthew, so I knew I had to check out his podcast, but honestly expected it to be a bit on the egocentric side simply because he's an actor. My experience was the perfect example as to why you should never trust a stereotype! Matthew authentically engages with his guests without focusing on his own fame or career. He also has only the BEST guests. They're fasicnating, inspiring, and share heaps of wisdom in every episode. Thanks so much for putting out such a great show Matthew - keep up the great work!

I love this show. Really great guests discuss their journeys as they sought out their dreams, plus useful information on how to stay positive, embrace failure, and appreciate all of the stops along the way.

I started listening to this podcast because I wanted to hear how an actor deals with such persistent rejection. This podcast is about so much more than life as an actor. It's really about the struggles we all go through. We all are being told "no" all the time. How successful people deal with failure is so much more interesting and inspiring than the success stories we normally hear. Matt Del Negro is a great interviewer. In the past two months, I've plowed through three-quarters of the older shows, and each week I can't wait until Friday for the next new one. Thanks, Matt, for putting this out there.

Matthew does an amazing job with his show. Since listening I have been inspired to stretch outside of my comfort zone. Thank you Matthew for all you do! I hear you!

I had the pleasure of meeting and chatting with Matt at a recent workshop in Los Angeles. The one word I would use to describe his show and him is AUTHENTIC. His show exposes listeners to a wide range of people, each with a great story and tips on moving forward in the face adversity and "no's"! After meeting Matt, I can honestly say he is just as genuine and down-to-earth in person as he sounds on his podcast. If you haven't given it a whirl yet, treat yourself and listen to 10,000 "No"s with Matthew Del Negro. I know you will get hooked!

I love how practical and Matt and this podcast are. It’s full of inspiration and motivation, but on a down-to-earth level that reflects true human experience. Very enjoyable to listen to and has take aways to implement immediately and concepts to ponder.

Love the variety of topics. Matt asks great questions. My recent favorite was Sharran Srivatsaa. Incredible!!!! A MUST LISTEN.

I came across this podcast from an article and it was really inspiring. The first episode that I listened to connected with me on a deep and profound level. I’m grateful I found this podcast that brings the awareness of life to a real level. Matthew Del Negro makes the story very honest and brings it all back to self.

This podcast is outstanding! We’ve all faced challenges in life. Matthew is so passionate, real and at times raw that it sparks inspiration and a change in perspective. His positivity - despite facing more than his shares of NOs is inspiring! Especially true of his solo episode on “Taking a Risk”.

Matt provides so much value through the 10,000 no’s podcast. He brings on top-shelf individuals to inspire us to push through the no’s. I love how honest and raw the conversations have been so far. Thanks, Matt!

Love the podcast and real talk of our business and the ups and downs associated with what it takes to be successful.

Absolutely brilliant podcast! Definitely a must listen!!
