Matt Prindle
Hi there, Matt here, and I love a good challenge. This podcast itself is the result of a challenge I gave myself to figure how I could leverage my challenges. My intention is to use this podcast as a tool for investigation and to share my findings so others could be entertained, educated, and maybe even challenged as well. The topics will variety depending on my current interests, but you can expect a wide range from health to wealth to wisdom. Whatever the topic, I’ll strive to transparently communicate my experience while diving in hands-on and reaching out to friends and experts along the way.
