Matthew is the manager for the Christchurch branch of Big Brothers, Big Sisters. In this interview we learn about his childhood and life journey, the role that mentoring has played in his life and what BBBS is involved in. We also talk about what training they give to new mentors - skills that are relevant to all of us.

I really enjoyed my conversation with Matthew and know you will as well - if you do, check out some of the other episodes in the back catalogue at www.theseeds.nz
