When Lance Clark sat down in an L.A. diner to ask Matt Webb to consider moving from California back to Huntington, Indiana, Matt's pressing question was, "Can we make feature films?"

This episode explores the journey from that conversation to the release of the first feature film produced through Huntington University, called "The Wayfaring Stranger", featuring Stephen Baldwin and Bethany Anne Lind.

This episode features Tanner Guthrie, an Associate Attorney at Patterson Law LLC in Fort Wayne.

I met Tanner at a business mixer and was quickly struck by his heart for helping people in some of the most difficult times of their lives. When people need an attorney it's usually because something has gone wrong, and the approach of the attorney makes a huge difference. As with most jobs, attorneys have significant power, for good or ill.

In this episode, Tanner talks about his path into law, the legal system, and the ways many local leaders are working to make this system the best it can be.

If you'd like to connect with Tanner you can find him on Linkedin or through the Patterson Law LLC website.
