Drew shares his personal journey of military service and how it led him to start Mattersville, which is located in Colorado and has a mission to help veterans get back on their feet.  Drew explains how Mattersville operates as a tiny community, where the veterans live in small, energy-efficient homes and have access to communal resources such as a garden, workshop, and community center.
