The Matt Show

Bryan, Rick, Matt and Greg sit and discuss a variety of topics loosely based around the skilled trades.  As guys that currently work in the skilled trades, we do our best to ask semi-intelligent questions to our guests to satisfy our curiosities about what they do.  From business advice to glimpses into different industries, we try to cover a broad variety of topics to keep you entertained during your workday.
