His interests include connecting with the natural world and learning to play the fiddle. “The methods and goals of hospice and palliative care, to me, represent the core of medicine.

This episode with Matt the attorney, Neil his father and Matt's dog Phoebe was one of my favorite episodes out of the over 225 I've done since 2020.

Matt has a tremendously authentic and polarizing personality and although his journey has had great success thus far, the best is yet to come.

His dad is still working in his 60s on planes (not trains and automobiles) and Phoebe was celebrating her 1st birthday on this day.

Matt and Neil both envy similar people that they'd love to have dinner with and legacy is very important to Matt.

Life is like a box of chocolates. Sometimes surprise and change gets the job done, other times it's the road less traveled and other times it's simplicity and execution.
