In part 2 of our chat with Matt Dessereau, we started off talking about how giving back to the community helps build community within the business. Matt shared some amazing things he’s done that show what a great guy he is.
 
Then things took a turn when he "made us" take shots of Jameson! After that, we spent the rest of the episode just having fun and joking around. You might not learn much about business, but you’ll have a good time listening!
