About this listen

Like Jared Watson from the Dirty Heads says "Ay, ay, ayy I'm on vacation, Every single day 'cause I love my occupation. Ay, ay, ayy, I'm on vacation, If you don't like your life, then, You should go and change it". Swimming With Narwhals is a podcast where I, Dave Matyas your host, interview people who are doing exactly that. They are the few who took the risk and are living their dream life. I want to find out how they did it. They are all passionate about what they do and love to talk about it. I'm on a mission to uncover their stories, whether that is running a small business, success in life or being an influencer online, I want to share their stories with the world.
