Great interview with Matt Comyn

Really enjoyed the interview with Matt. Very honest and open on how he focuses being at his best, both physically and mentally. Very impressive after navigating the last six years as CEO.

Andrew’s approach always finds that balance between the deep technical insights from his outstanding and compelling guests, but also the very humanist journey we are all on in life. This helps us all reach and grow for “better”. Thanks Andrew.
