10,000 NOs

How to overcome rejection, turn failure into opportunity, and live the life you’ve always known was yours.
I’m Matthew Del Negro, you may know me from Scandal, The West Wing, Teen Wolf or The Sopranos.
In 2017, I was in a place where I had been unemployed for so much of my career I was beginning to feel sorry for myself. I thought, f**k it, I’m done waiting for someone to hire me, I’m going to go make my own thing. That is how 10,000 NOs was born, just me, a microphone and 17 minutes of riffing straight from the heart.

What started as a side-hustle has turned into one of the greatest adventures I have ever undertaken. I have had the opportunity to speak to people from all walks of life and learned that the people you think have "got it made" put their pants on one leg at a time, just like you and me.
If you’re a person who's heard the word “No” this is the show for you. It’s going to teach you what my dad always taught me… that failure is just opportunity in disguise.
