The relationship that we have with our siblings is often quite tricky. No matter your upbringing, there are always moments where you don't quite understand them, you wish they'd leave you alone or you want them to behave differently. My relationship with my younger brother, Matt was no different. In fact, there is a lot about our upbringing that created tension, uncertainty and situations that left both of us feeling as if we didn't quite know where we belonged. I was always the "hard worker", the structured and competitive soul that wanted to be the best. I felt like I had a direction and had this "go-getter" spirit within me.

My younger brother on the other hand, spent a lot of his upbringing really uncertain as to who he was, what he wanted to do with his life, and where he truly fit in. This lead to rebellion, acting out and eventually escaping the life that he felt trapped in to find himself in a whole new world.

This is the first time that I've had Matt on the podcast and I'm so grateful that he is here with us today to share his story. I learned a lot about his life that I didn't know, and it has provided valuable insight into the specific struggles that he faced.

We hope you enjoy the brotherly banter! You get extra points if you can decipher who is who in this conversation. We sound super similar!
