I share how becoming a dad helped me drop the armor—becoming more emotionally open while stepping into leadership with greater strength and clarity. We talk about trauma from Matt’s nonprofit work in Ciudad Juárez, rebuilding faith after burnout and PTSD, and why solitude, mentorship, and marriage have shaped this “summer season” of Matt's purpose at 47.

This episode is about alignment—doing the inner work so you can rise into who you were created to be.

Tune in for an honest conversation on resilience, growth, and building a life that actually matters.
