It was tough at times to hear what Matt has been through but I still really enjoyed chatting to him on Legends with Bevo.

Thanks to Matt for his time and for being so open and honest and Rory Noke from PodBooth for a great job of filming and editing the video.

Finally thanks to our sponsors, Kookaburra Homes, Anytime Fitness Glenelg and Renelec Electrical Services.
