We can all agree that some of the best moments occur over a meal. For eons, “breaking bread” has been the common element among all cultures for human bonding. Think about the many conversations that you’ve had over lunch that you wish you could share. This show is a platform to extend inspiring conversations about what we call BLTnT – Business, Life, Technology, and Transformations. Our guests are people we can learn from. They are storytellers. They are game changers, luminaries, business leaders, tech gurus, and friends. The show’s host, Matt Loria, is the CEO of Auxiom, an IT and Cyber Security company serving businesses. Matt considers himself to be blessed to make numerous connections in his daily life and have meals with a lot of interesting people. He draws upon his love of connecting to inspire the most intriguing thoughts and perspectives from his guests. He is here to continue the conversation that typically started over lunch. Of all the layers of BLTnT, transformations are arguably the most energizing. They take courage, luck, and fortitude. In each episode, our host will highlight at least one notable transformation or transition that the person has made, and we can be inspired by.
