Meet Matt Drinkhahn, the Eternal Optimist

I had the incredible pleasure and honor of being introduced to Matt by a common friend in the podcasting world - and upon talking with Matt - was immediately put at ease by how gracious, thoughtful, and authentic he was in our interactions (and I don’t give such praise lightly - especially in regards to authenticity - which is an increasingly rare and special characteristic!). This introduction and meeting led to Matt extending an invitation for me to be a guest on this show - and it was an easy yes for me - as I felt very confident that we could have a highly engaging and meaningful conversation together. Well - Matt certainly didn’t disappoint - as our conversation turned out to be one of my favorite podcasting experiences - and I am now firmly a fan of this podcast - and more importantly - of Matt as a person! I find Matt’s perspective and character to be infectious in the best possible sense - and exactly what is needed in such challenging and divisive times. I hope this podcast gets massive attention - and the audience it deserves!!

I’ve been listening to The Eternal Optimist Podcast for about 6 months now. Matt truly has a gift for seeing the good in the world and it inspires me to do better / be better! This podcast helps put in perspective some of my challenges and gives me courage to move forward to overcome them. I enjoy the diversity of guests and was particularly intrigued by the Wohlwend family - every member of the family is an entrepreneur, even the young boys.

Coach Matt brings fresh perspective with some awesome guests and great topics! You’ll walk away from each episode with something actionable you can apply to your life and business.

I just love how real and authentic Matt really is when it comes to showing up big in the world and introducing me to some of the most amazing people he knows. The books that he shares on his podcast, to all the tips strategies and life hacks that come out, as as result of him, not only talking about being on the journey, but walking through it and guiding me along the way! I always look forward to listening to more amazing and authentic guest. He has to expose me to.

PS I cannot wait to get a hold of his book!!!

I always feel so good listening to these podcasts! He’s such a great host and I feel that I leave having learned something new.

This podcast is amazing. The depth of passion used to help motivate people to become better as humans, as employees, and with family. The work life balance will make you a better human.

Highly recommend as it changed my life and my success in business.

I really enjoyed the deep dive into each topic as well as the optimistic outlook. This will brighten your day and make you highlight the good in your world!

So thankful for this podcast and how it spreads positivity!! We could all use a little more positivity in this world. Overcoming challenges is part of life and without pruning we would never grow. Love how this podcast challenges us to see the good and overcome challenges

Listening to this I realized I'm a bit optimism deficient! Great stories of redemption, hope, and restoration from leaders and thinkers here.

It seems that anytime I listen to Matt I am inspired. This is a man who has priorities straight and leads from the heart. I find wisdom and motivation every time I listen to this show.

Loved the episode with Roderic Lenhart. “The cost of anything is the amount of life you exchange for it.”

That one line was worth my time for sure. Thanks for the inspiration.

There is nothing fluffy or woo-woo about the eternal optimist, this show is more than a conversation as Matt goes deep and finds the insight anyone else would overlook. It’s about real life and real results. I love the guests, but what makes it great is how Matt cares so deeply and pulls you in for the journey. Give this a listen!

I e known Coach Matt for several years and he Genuinely cares about the people that come into his life and their betterment. The guests he has the access to are next level and there is always a golden nugget or two that I get when I listen to him talk. Well worth the investment of time.

Matt is one of the most positive and growth minded guys I’ve had a chance to cross paths with so this is the perfect name of a show hosted by him! Give it a listen.

...to your mindset, your outlook, and your day. Matt Drinkahn doesn't shy away from tough and complicated issues. Instead, thanks to his deep presence with his top-notch guests, he transforms hard things into opportunities for hope.

I have been listening for a little over a week now and it’s amazing the positivity that Matt exudes over the screen and the microphone. The latest podcast I listened too made me think about my own kids and the challenges they face in this digital world that are significantly different than when I grew up. Looking forward to more 7am segments!

I love this podcast because it gives me so many ideas on how to be a better human. Matt curates great guests who all share their wisdom openly, which is the way Matt himself shows up in the world.

Each episode delivers thought-provoking conversations that motivate me to improve myself and make a positive difference. The guests provide tactical tips and vulnerable personal stories that inspire me to keep growing.

Matt's infectious energy and eternal optimism set the tone for forward-thinking discussions on how we can reach our potential while lifting up others along the way. He gets incredible nuggets of wisdom out of each guest.

The Eternal Optimist is one of those podcasts I always listen to as soon as new episodes are released. Matt and his guests never fail to brighten my day and give me new insights to apply in my own life and work. I'm endlessly grateful this content exists to help me and so many others.

I’m fascinated by the in depth questions that Matt asks his guests on the show. I love the insights and positive vide this podcast offers. I highly recommend to anyone who wants wisdom, not just good information!

Every single week Matt brings his infectious energy, incredible insights, and has great conversations with true experts!

If you’re looking for a shot of energy directly into your veins along with some amazing, practical advice, this is the podcast for you!

It was a pleasure speaking with you, Matt! If anyone asks me for podcast recommendations, your show will undoubtedly be at the top of my list. It's a gem that deserves to be shared and appreciated by a broader audience.

This is an phenomenal show! The topics are very relevant to help bring an abundance positivity and inspiration in your life.

lots of great information and presentation

I was reading an article that talks about 3 common traits shared by successful people in any endeavor: 1. A superiority complex 2. Crippling insecurity about not being enough and 3. Impulse control. Every day is a battle to balance these three traits, and more importantly, to overcome that second trait. I don’t think you can have the vision to see success and seek it without having the same ability to see the catastrophic failure that could also become an outcome. You have to take the good with the bad if you have that visionary ability - and thankfully for us we have access to Matt, and through him countless other leaders and visionaries, who talk through overcoming obstacles - external and internal - to help you keep driving towards that positive vision of success. This podcast is an invaluable resource for those of us who need those helpful reminders that you steer towards what you are looking towards - and Matt keeps us looking towards the successful outcomes with his insight and his interviews.

Must listen podcast with real life topics we all face at one point or another in our lives. Matt along with his variety of guests, guides the listeners and shows us there is hope to overcome life’s challenges that are constantly thrown our way. #eternal optimist!

In a world that creates more demands on us as humans and leaders than we can often handle, Matt’s podcast helps us to resource ourselves so we can be the humans and leaders the world needs at this moment.

If you’re tired of being bombarded with negative stuff, listen to this! There’s hope!

I highly recommend giving it a listen, especially if you're in need of a positivity boost. Matt, keep up the fantastic work, and thank you for spreading optimism in the world. You're making a difference, one episode at a time!

Finally, we’ve gotten someone to spread messages of good news and positivity! Matt does a great job in inspiring others and sending positive vibes through his podcast.

In a world where there’s so much negativity and finger-pointing, Matt does a great job to offer the other angle.

Ten stars for a conscientious effort in providing a bright outlook on life!

Matt is THE eternal optimist! Perfect title for this podcast. Everything about it is inspiring. Great guests, great interviews. This podcast leaves me feeling lit up, and well… Optimistic! Great job Matt!

Great podcast!

The show with Craig was awesome!!!

Great show. I highly recommend it

In a world that can be filled with so much darkness, it’s great to find a a ray of light in the form of this podcast. Matt is truly doing amazing work with the conversations and insights he continues to share. Definitely keeping this show in rotation!

Matt knows people can achieve great things and makes huge impacts. But, that limiting self-belief is many times the greatest inhibitor. In each Eternal Optimist episode, Matt and his guests share stories demonstrating the power of optimistic thinking in unlocking potential and breaking through barriers. Optimism is contagious and encouraging…have a listen and see for yourself. You’ll be inspired to be your best and to share optimism with others.

Matt embodies the purpose of this show. He is genuine and authentically optimistic.

Love the passion, love the show!!

Matt kills it with this podcast and spreads a message that anyone can take big positive things away from. Especially as a father there is so much great knowledge that can make a deeper impact on how I love and lead my family. I highly encourage giving this podcast a listen each week.

Just like the quote Matt had shared (attributed to the founders of Google) - the real goal isn’t just the competitive advantage in the moment - but the evolutionary advantage over time . . .

That’s the mindset that Matt brings to his podcast to make it an evolutionary winner !
