This week’s episode features a relaxed, friend-to-friend conversation between Matt and Ty Bernadyn PhD., marking our first guest from outside the business. Ty talks about growing up in a one-mile town, the long path toward earning his PhD, and what it means to stay curious, keep growing, and stay interesting even after hitting big milestones.

Ty’s story is one of steady hard work — from small beginnings to academic success — and he continues to push forward with new career goals and a genuine passion for learning.
