This is part two of a two-part episode -

Matthew takes me on a wild ride from his years of addiction-fueled crime to the jaw-dropping moment that made him risk his own freedom to do the right thing. We talk about what it’s like to face life in prison, how sobriety sometimes hits you when you’re least expecting it (like, in a prison cell), and why being sober doesn’t mean your story suddenly gets easy. Spoiler: It doesn’t. But here’s the thing – Matthew is one of those people who somehow manages to find humor even in the absolute darkest parts of his past. He’s brutally honest, self-aware, and so damn resilient that you can’t help but root for him.
