Today on the show we have Bill Matthews. Bill is a coach for men who are experiencing roadblocks in their lives. They think that it is too late for them to live in alignment with the way that they truly wanted and truly sought after when they were younger. Together we are going to co-create a story that smashes this limiting belief and expresses the deep passion and power that Bill works with within the stories that we all tell ourselves about ourselves. This is a magical episode.  In This Episode: It is not too late to move forward and begin to take your mental health, physical health, and spiritual health seriously.  It is not all those things that make you happy. It is the connection with people.  Being needed, being wanted, being loved, and loving others is true happiness.  We are the sum of the stories we tell ourselves. Ask yourself if the story you are telling yourself is true or not and how can we begin to recreate that story?   And so much more!!!   Connect with Bill Matthews: Bill on Instagram

Strap in for an experience that'll leave your heart a little heavier, yet hopeful, as I chat with Bill Matthews—a man who's faced the darkest valleys of addiction and emerged into the light of wellness and mentoring. His tale isn't just about personal victory; it's a roadmap for others wrestling with the shackles of substance abuse. At 57, with a life rich in sobriety and health, Bill doesn't shy away from the gritty details of his past—a childhood marred by alcohol and drugs, and a journey through the tumultuous waves of recovery that have shaped him into the beacon of hope he is today. Our conversation paints the stark realities of alcoholism against the canvas of family dynamics, early exposure to substance abuse, and the long road to reclaiming one's life. Bill's openness offers a piercing look at how addiction can be a silent thief in the night, robbing years and potential, often masquerading as a social key to ease anxieties. But it's not just a walk down memory lane; we traverse the transformative impact of the 12-step program, the camaraderie of shared struggle, and the discovery of passions like ultra-trail running that redefine the essence of what it means to thrive after addiction. The episode crescendos with Bill's enlifted strategies for tackling self-doubt and the art of self-belief—swapping out that deceptive 'little devil' whispering negativity for a 'corner man' in your corner, cheering on your victories. Embrace a narrative that's raw, powerful, and occasionally peppered with the lighter moments of carrying kettlebells through everyday life, and the wisdom gleaned from pushing past the rough patches. Bill Matthews' journey is more than inspirational—it's a clarion call to action for anyone standing at the crossroads, ready to embark on their own path to transformation.  --------- EPISODE CHAPTERS --------- (0:00:02) - Reshaping Mindsets and Thriving as Men (0:07:50) - Alcoholism, Family, and Decision-Making (0:12:31) - Reflections on Alcoholism and Personal Growth (0:18:23) - From Addiction to Ultra Trail Running (0:30:58) - Discovering and Embracing Personal Growth (0:37:28) - Embracing the Uncomfortable (0:42:04) - Inspiring Transformation Through Self-Belief (0:50:26) - Ignoring the Negativity to Achieve Success   THE FOUNDATION - Virtual Community for Young MenBuilding Men InstagramBuilding Men WebsiteBuilding Men YouTubeBuilding Men FacebookWork with Dennis as your 1 on 1 coach If our podcast resonates with you, please consider rating, reviewing and sharing it with anyone who you believe would benefit from the message.Visit our sponsors - Finish The Race – Home of the official Building Men gear

Bill Matthews is already a member of the Jackrabbit Sports Hall of Fame. Last Sunday, he was inducted into the South Dakota Sports Hall of Fame. Tyler Merriam caught up with the Wessington native to discuss his playing days, life in the NFL and the pride he has in the Jackrabbit football program today.

In Part 3 and the final in our podcast series for the Macro2Markets 2022 Outlook, George Goncalves, MUFG Head of U.S. Macro Strategy, interviews Bill Matthews, MUFG High Yield Credit Analyst, on his outlook for the HY Credit market in 2022. George and Bill discuss the Fed-induced financial conditions tightening among other things, where the High Yield market is not immune to any meaningful repricing of risk assets, but its lower duration footprint and strong credit fundamentals is leading it to trade, for now, towards the bottom of our forecast spread range.   Disclaimer: www.mufgresearch.com (PDF)

William (Bill) Matthews has been dealing in old & rare books, manuscripts, maps and related material since 1976. He began working for a bookshop in Saskatoon, then opened his own in Vancouver in 1976, and subsequently moved to Toronto in 1980. He was in Ontario until 1996 when he moved to San Francisco / Berkeley and was part of Peter Howard's Serendipity Books for a few years. He's now the proud owner of The Haunted Bookshop, a bricks and mortar shop in Sydney, B.C. just north of Victoria.    We met in the shop to talk about Bill's career in the used book business, about young collectors; Odean Long, previous long-time owner of The Haunted Bookshop; pseudonymously and anonymously authored books; scouting trips, Acres of Books in Cincinnati, little book fairs, book scouts Martin Stone and David Sachs, Driff's Guide to All the Second-hand and Antiquarian Bookshops in Britain, fantasy fiction, booksellers Peter Howard and Bill Hoffer, the great Winnipeg book sale, Maurice Sendak, and much more.    After our conversation Bill and I chatted a bit about Saskatoon, where the two of us had grown up, discovering that we'd both gone to the same high school, at the same time - in the same grade. Bill later produced the yearbook to prove it.    Apologies in advance for the poor audio quality (something about soft-spoken booksellers and the acoustics of used bookstores).

In this episode, the CAF bids farewell to the Governor General and Commander-in-Chief of Canada, also, some insights from John Mannarino, Vanguard's latest Game Changer and changes to the civilian leadership of the Department of National Defence.    Show Notes:   General Jonathan Vance, Chief of the Defence Staff, and the CAF community bid farewell to His Excellency the Right Honourable David Johnston, Governor General and Commander-in-Chief of Canada, during an official ceremony on Wednesday, September 27, 2017, at the Canada Aviation and Space Museum.   In appreciation of his outstanding support and dedicated service to the Canadian Armed Forces, the ceremony consisted of military honours including a CF-18 flypast; a 21-gun salute and a 100-person Guard of Honour.   His Excellency served as the CAF Commander-in-Chief for seven years. During his appointment, the Governor General made it a priority to support military members and their families through various initiatives and activities.    DND  Last Friday, the Prime Minister announced upcoming changes to the civilian leadership of the Department of National Defence, an organization that is absolutely critical to the success of the Canadian Armed Forces. These changes include a new Deputy Minister, Senior Associate Deputy Minister, and Associate Deputy Minister.  Jody Thomas – currently the Senior Associate Deputy Minister – will be promoted Deputy Minister of National Defence effective October 23rd. Jody's background as Commissioner of the Coast Guard and as a member of the Reserve Force, coupled with her passionate approach to supporting those in uniform and her commitment to building a culture of respect and dignity within the Defence Team, ensure that we continue to have the right leadership within the Department of National Defence.  Bill Matthews, currently Comptroller General of Canada, will step into the role of Senior Associate Deputy Minister. Bill's financial expertise and breadth of experience will be invaluable as we implement the new defence policy.  Gordon Venner, currently our Assistant Deputy Minister of Policy, will be promoted Associate Deputy Minister. I have long valued Gord's commitment to the Department, his expertise and advice, and am confident he will serve well in his new role.    Game Changer  Meet John Mannarino, Vanguard's latest Game Changer. John is the President of Mannarino Systems & Software Inc. About 18 years ago, he started out in the defence industry as a control system engineer at a gas turbine engine OEM in Montreal.  His first seven years were spent on engineering which included design, analysis, modeling, testing, and certification. “I loved the nature of the products we worked on – high-tech and aerospace,” said Mannarino. “This was great technical training – I enjoyed the work quite a bit.”  With this experience, John decided to try something different. He began consulting for a US-based company developing aerospace controls systems. “After a couple of years of proving myself, opportunities developed to handle larger projects and I took them on.” He eventually expanded the company to multiple customers and started branching out to include other engineering services.
