This week on the podcast we’re in Choctaw, Oklahoma (pop. 11,146) with Matt Floyd of Matt’s Bat, where he makes handcrafted custom wood bats. Matt’s sharing how he and his family moved from downtown Oklahoma City to their farm in Choctaw, where he has grown his bat business and started a farmer’s market. They even have a ball diamond in the back yard, where they host team bat making parties that bring kids into the process and give them a hands-on look at skilled trades.Matt talks about the concept of reneighboring and how they have put that into practice, and his intentionality behind putting people and relationships first. This is an incredible message of loving your neighbor in a time where we need it most. Be sure to go check the show notes to follow Matt on social media and put in an order for your own-custom made bat.Check out more on the blog.SHOW NOTES:
