First 'good', then 'bad'. Then back to 'good', and then returning to 'bad'. In this episode, Matthew uses 'celebration' and 'loss' as entry-points into a discussion on 'duality', and how the 'yin and yang' of our lives are indirectly dependent on each other!

'Indians', 'Wahoo', and a lifetime of baseball memories! In this episode, Matthew says 'goodbye' to his beloved baseball team, reflects on the difficulty of new beginnings, and why 'baseball' is still the greatest game ever invented.

Did that person thank you?  In this episode, Matthew ponders the reasons we do what we do and the impact on our 'gratitude expectations'.

Your house is burning down...what do you take? What's most important? Is this episode, Matthew gives thought to the things of 'value' and the things of value that we may even part with, so that other can derive value from them. Is it even possible?

Anyone ever help you 'change direction'? Anyone force you off the road you were on? Was it for the better? Or worse? In this episode, Matthew chats about the people who helped him 'veer off course', and the effect that that fork in the road had on his life.
