STORYLINES is a podcast series featuring creative leadership expert Matt Landau. Join Matt as he travels around the world, sharing adventures in business, relationships, and self-mastery.
Recorded live at The Collaboration Experiment at The Bass Museum of Art in Miami Beach, Matt Landau explores a more human definition of collaboration.
Through stories of unexpected partnerships, a life-changing trip, a deeply moving moment on stage in Barcelona, and a gathering that nearly fell apart in the Nevada desert, Matt reflects on what happens when we loosen our grip on control and make room for something new to emerge.
This is not a conversation about dividing tasks or chasing the perfect outcome. It is about experimentation, honesty, vulnerability, and the kind of shared experiences that can turn mistakes, tension, and uncertainty into the most memorable part of the work.
A live talk for anyone building something with others—and wanting to do it with a little more courage, creativity, and heart.

Where Great Stories Come From
Where do great stories really come from? In this episode, Matt Landau challenges the scripts, formulas, and performative habits that keep us stuck in someone else's version of who we should be. Through a memorable tale about an ill-fitting suit and a meaningful journey through Utah with his mother, Matt explores why the best stories emerge when we "go where we are not," follow our curiosity, and communicate from a place of genuine experience. Because better storytelling isn't about perfect delivery.. it's about becoming more fully yourself.
