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 connect deeper... join us on my Substack... https://mattgottesman.substack.com

God Doesn't Always Give You an Answer... Sometimes He Gives You Better Discernment
In this episode we’ll talk about: Why God doesn't always answer our questions in the way we're expecting How life itself can become the environment where God develops discernment The difference between seeking signs and learning how to recognize wisdom Why spiritual maturity gives you greater confidence when making difficult decisions How Scripture, experience, values, patterns, peace, and prayer can work together in discernment Why better discernment may ultimately be more valuable than simply being given the answer And more… START HERE… → Join The Niche Is You® — my Substack (20K+) — Weekly essays, the full workshop library, the private community + the Quarterly Challenges. → https://mattgottesman.substack.com/about NEW HERE… → 6 Days to Clarity Workshop — clarity for your time, energy, money, creativity, work & play. → https://mattgottesman.com/reverse-engineer-your-life (FREE) CONNECT WITH ME… → Instagram — @mattgottesman → TikTok — @mattgottesman → YouTube — @mattgottesman RESOURCES… → Write • Design • Build — my Content Creator Studio & OS masterclass (Included when you join my Substack) — Growing the niche of you, your audience, reach, voice, passion & income — CLICK HERE → Recommended Book List — CLICK HERE → Apparel — thenicheisyou.com OTHER RELATED EPISODES: Faith Isn’t Knowing the Whole Path… It’s Taking the Next Honest Step Apple: https://apple.co/3MB62Iu Spotify: https://bit.ly/4rZw3RN

You Should Know What You're Unwilling to Sacrifice for Success
In this episode we’ll talk about: Why you need your own definition of success before the world gives you one How to identify what you're actually trying to protect as you build your life Why your non-negotiables create boundaries around what success is allowed to cost you How to distinguish healthy devotion to your work from sacrificing yourself for it Why surrendering your plans to God can create a better definition of success than ambition alone How to build success around the life you actually want to live—not sacrifice that life to achieve it And more… START HERE… → Join The Niche Is You® — my Substack (20K+) — Weekly essays, the full workshop library, the private community + the Quarterly Challenges. → https://mattgottesman.substack.com/about NEW HERE… → 6 Days to Clarity Workshop — clarity for your time, energy, money, creativity, work & play. → https://mattgottesman.com/reverse-engineer-your-life (FREE) CONNECT WITH ME… → Instagram — @mattgottesman → TikTok — @mattgottesman → YouTube — @mattgottesman RESOURCES… → Write • Design • Build — my Content Creator Studio & OS masterclass (Included when you join my Substack) — Growing the niche of you, your audience, reach, voice, passion & income — CLICK HERE → Recommended Book List — CLICK HERE → Apparel — thenicheisyou.com OTHER RELATED EPISODES: Faith Isn’t Knowing the Whole Path… It’s Taking the Next Honest Step Apple: https://apple.co/3MB62Iu Spotify: https://bit.ly/4rZw3RN

The Strongest Brands Feel Like People, Not Marketing
In this episode we’ll talk about: Why a strong brand is built through trust, not simply attention Why people connect more deeply with perspective, personality, and values than polished marketing How consistency between what you say and how you operate creates credibility Why your humanity, taste, and lived experience become increasingly valuable in an AI-driven world How to use marketing without allowing marketing to become the identity of your brand Why the brands that last feel less like campaigns and more like relationships And more… START HERE… → Join The Niche Is You® — my Substack (20K+) — Weekly essays, the full workshop library, the private community + the Quarterly Challenges. → https://mattgottesman.substack.com/about NEW HERE… → 6 Days to Clarity Workshop — clarity for your time, energy, money, creativity, work & play. → https://mattgottesman.com/reverse-engineer-your-life (FREE) CONNECT WITH ME… → Instagram — @mattgottesman → TikTok — @mattgottesman → YouTube — @mattgottesman RESOURCES… → Write • Design • Build — my Content Creator Studio & OS masterclass (Included when you join my Substack) — Growing the niche of you, your audience, reach, voice, passion & income — CLICK HERE → Recommended Book List — CLICK HERE → Apparel — thenicheisyou.com OTHER RELATED EPISODES: Faith Isn’t Knowing the Whole Path… It’s Taking the Next Honest Step Apple: https://apple.co/3MB62Iu Spotify: https://bit.ly/4rZw3RN

You Can't Build an Authentic Life While Performing for Approval
In this episode we’ll talk about: Why so many unknowingly build lives around approval instead of authenticity How performance slowly disconnects you from who God created you to be The difference between living from acceptance versus living for acceptance There's a profound difference between earning love and living from it. God doesn't ask us to perform for His love. He invites us to live from it.

Your Calling Isn’t a Destination… It’s a Relationship You Keep Growing Into

Why the deepest fulfillment comes from faithfully walking with your calling each day. How every "yes" deepens your relationship with your purpose. Why most callings unfold quietly rather than through one defining moment. How your calling will likely surprise you along the way.

Your Boundaries Aren't Hurting People — They're Revealing Who Was Benefiting From You Having None
In this episode we’ll talk about: Why setting boundaries so often gets confused with hurting people — when what's really happening is that boundaries are exposing dynamics that were never sustainable in the first place, and why the discomfort others feel is not the same thing as harm being done to them The specific way that a lack of boundaries quietly benefits certain people in your life — and why the loudest resistance to your new limits almost always comes from the ones who were quietly gaining the most from your old lack of them Why the people who genuinely love you will adjust to your boundaries — even if imperfectly — and the people who resist them completely are showing you something important about the actual nature of the relationship How to recognize the difference between a boundary that's hurting someone and a boundary that's just inconveniencing someone who was used to unlimited access — because those two things get conflated constantly and the confusion keeps a lot of people from setting the limits they need What becomes possible when you finally stop apologizing for the limits that were always yours to set — and how the relationships that survive that shift become the ones actually worth having And more… START HERE… → Join The Niche Is You® — my Substack (20K+) — Weekly essays, the full workshop library, the private community + the Quarterly Challenges. → https://mattgottesman.substack.com/about NEW HERE… → 6 Days to Clarity Workshop — clarity for your time, energy, money, creativity, work & play. → https://mattgottesman.com/reverse-engineer-your-life (FREE) CONNECT WITH ME… → Instagram — @mattgottesman → TikTok — @mattgottesman → YouTube — @mattgottesman RESOURCES… → Write • Design • Build — my Content Creator Studio & OS masterclass (Included when you join my Substack) — Growing the niche of you, your audience, reach, voice, passion & income — CLICK HERE → Recommended Book List — CLICK HERE → Apparel — thenicheisyou.com OTHER RELATED EPISODES: Faith Isn’t Knowing the Whole Path… It’s Taking the Next Honest Step Apple: https://apple.co/3MB62Iu Spotify: https://bit.ly/4rZw3RN

Anyone Can Stand Beside You — The Person For You Will Protect Your Assignment
In this episode we’ll talk about: Why chemistry, connection, and attraction matter… but why they were never designed to be the primary filter for who you build a life with, and how using them as the primary filter often leads to relationships that struggle to hold what you're actually trying to build The concept of stewardship in relationships… what it means when one person is entrusted with the assignment God placed in the other, and why the right partner recognizes that assignment before they recognize anything else Why this principle isn't gendered… it applies equally to how a man chooses a woman and how a woman chooses a man, because both people are carrying something God placed inside them that requires stewardship from the other The specific signs of a partner who's built to steward the assignment… the way they treat what you're carrying, the way they protect your peace, the way they multiply what you build instead of consuming it What it means to choose from a place of purpose rather than a place of chemistry… and why doing this changes not just your relationship but the entire trajectory of your legacy And more… START HERE… → Join The Niche Is You® — my Substack (20K+) — Weekly essays, the full workshop library, the private community + the Quarterly Challenges. → https://mattgottesman.substack.com/about NEW HERE… → 6 Days to Clarity Workshop — clarity for your time, energy, money, creativity, work & play. → https://mattgottesman.com/reverse-engineer-your-life (FREE) CONNECT WITH ME… → Instagram — @mattgottesman → TikTok — @mattgottesman → YouTube — @mattgottesman RESOURCES… → Write • Design • Build — my Content Creator Studio & OS masterclass (Included when you join my Substack) — Growing the niche of you, your audience, reach, voice, passion & income — CLICK HERE → Recommended Book List — CLICK HERE → Apparel — thenicheisyou.com OTHER RELATED EPISODES: Faith Isn’t Knowing the Whole Path… It’s Taking the Next Honest Step Apple: https://apple.co/3MB62Iu Spotify: https://bit.ly/4rZw3RN

What It Actually Looks Like to Surrender Your Plans to God
In this episode we’ll talk about: Why most of what we call "surrender" isn't actually surrender… it's negotiation dressed up in spiritual language, and how that quietly keeps us stuck in the same season for years The specific difference between surrendering the vision and surrendering control of how the vision arrives… a distinction that changes everything about how you walk through your assignment Why the plans, ideas, and expectations you're holding onto are often the very things standing between you and what God is actually trying to give you What real surrender actually looks like in practice… the daily posture, the specific release, and the trust required underneath both How to recognize when you've moved from surrender back into control… and how to gently return to trust without shame And more… START HERE… → Join The Niche Is You® — my Substack (20K+) — Weekly essays, the full workshop library, the private community + the Quarterly Challenges. → https://mattgottesman.substack.com/about NEW HERE… → 6 Days to Clarity Workshop — clarity for your time, energy, money, creativity, work & play. → https://mattgottesman.com/reverse-engineer-your-life (FREE) CONNECT WITH ME… → Instagram — @mattgottesman → TikTok — @mattgottesman → YouTube — @mattgottesman RESOURCES… → Write • Design • Build — my Content Creator Studio & OS masterclass (Included when you join my Substack) — Growing the niche of you, your audience, reach, voice, passion & income — CLICK HERE → Recommended Book List — CLICK HERE → Apparel — thenicheisyou.com OTHER RELATED EPISODES: Faith Isn’t Knowing the Whole Path… It’s Taking the Next Honest Step Apple: https://apple.co/3MB62Iu Spotify: https://bit.ly/4rZw3RN
