The Niche Is You
Matthew Gottesman
Hi, I’m Matt Gottesman (@mattgottesman on Instagram) and this is my daily podcast where I offer practical thoughts and perspectives to un-complicate life, creativity and the pursuit of your highest self.
Instead of choosing one niche for the podcast, I decided that the niche is you… a simple, straight forward show about the power of not boxing yourself into any one category, title or niche, but embracing all of your gifts, having a better relationship with yourself and trusting your path (intuition).
I’m not a "category" expert, just someone sharing my thoughts, perspectives and experiences on topics that really matter to promote a life of health, wealth, happiness & personal fulfillment.
Join me right here every day and if you never want to miss a show, text me PODCAST to 480-530-7352
