    The best way to explain why Mat started this podcast is to share his journey with depression and anxiety.Mat "had it all" according to the world's standards: living in a nice house with his wife and 3 kids, and financially secure. Then came depression and anxiety.Refusing to acknowledge the problem and seek help, he lost everything: job, money, and family. Even after various types of therapy and medication, there was no real breakthrough.Listen to find out how Mat broke through.---------Warning: This episode contains a discussion on suicide.
