Matt has been a professional musician for almost thirty years, and he’s realized that even the most complex issues often have simple solutions, and the many lessons he has learned along the journey from barroom stages to Broadway can be applied to other areas in life as well.     Hooks, named after the musical term—covers skills, performance, identity, confidence, expectations, courage, fear, creativity, and business. These simple Hooks are followed by thorough explanations, as well as real-life examples, all presented to help readers find perspective, improve performance, retain confidence, and find balance in life, “onstage,” and in business.
