Episode 52
This is the first official repeat guest on the GJBeat. Matt's life turned upside down in early 2022 and he was instantly thrown into the local spotlight. Since the cycling death of his wife, Tabatha, life has changed in so many difficult yet positive ways. Matt left his career to pursue ownership of Fleet Feet Roanoke which finalized in late 2022 while also fighting grueling court battles until recently. His honesty is refreshingly brutal and unedited giving a real insight to his struggles and victories. Hope you enjoy!
