Matt Heath - Creating Deeper Friendships, Gratitude and Finitude

Between Two Beers Newsletter

Matt Heath was one of the first ‘big names’ that gave us his time when we were just starting out in the podcast game, and this week, coinciding with the release of his new book "A Life Less Punishing" we thought it was a great time to get him back on.

Matt is an actor, producer, sports commentator, columnist, musician and radio host and now author, and can be heard hosting the Radio Hauraki breakfast radio show alongside Jeremy Wells, as well as commentating on the Alternative Commentary Collective

This is a really cool episode that covers a lot of ground. We talk about creating deeper friendships, gratitude and finitude, the current and future state of the media, loss and grief and writing a column a week for 10 years for the Herald.

We've always been huge fans of Matt, the way his brain works and his outlook on life and this was an awesome conversation.
