Silent Service
Two friends—Matt (mentor, leader, manager) and Will (mentee, young professional)—share vulnerable conversations about faith, business, relationships, and life’s unspoken lessons. The podcast is part journal, part mentorship, and part encouragement for listeners navigating their own journeys.
Silent Service
Ep. 1: Does money make us happy?
In this debut episode of Silent Service, Matt and Will explore the age-old question of whether wealth leads to happiness. We talk about health, values, and what people would truly trade for peace of mind. It’s a raw, thoughtful conversation about the role money plays in our lives—and what really matters.
