Matt Thomas of the popular Netflix show "Love is Blind" is my special guest today! This definitely might be the best interview given yet regarding the show and a true insight into the experiment and life inside the pods. Matt's love story was not seen on the show, but existed nonetheless. He found himself caught up in a love triangle between himself and another male cast member, competing for the love of the woman on the other side of the wall. Find out how he handled it and how that love triangle played out once they got back in the real world . Also, hear who else he connected with and who made the biggest transformation on the show. There is a ton of BTS content. Enjoy!

This was bittersweet for me. I got to reconnect with my good friend, Leah and finally meet her husband, Chris. However, very unfortunate circumstances:

Leah lost her son Parker in 2018....something no parent should have to go through. I was honored to sit down with Leah and Chris to help share this story with you.

In Parker's honor, they are throwing the Ride Away Music Fest on October 19th at Suwannee Town Center from 2-10pm. I'm honored to emcee this event and hope to see as many people there that can make it.

If you cry easily, have a box of tissues at the ready. I had to hold back tears several times throughout.

But this is a VERY important episode and I really hope you give it a listen.
