Pack your bug spray and emotional baggage, Debbie’s hanging out with Matt Brand, author, VP of engineering, and camp nostalgia pro. They swap Welcome to Camp stories, but it’s not all campfire kumbayas. Matt gets real about his health wake-up call, ditching the high-cholesterol lifestyle, and what it means for a guy to face food issues in a world that rarely lets men talk about them. Part heart, part humor, and totally relatable, Debbie and Matt dive into growing up, glowing up, and laughing through it all.
