My guest today is the one and only Matthew Currin, founder of @convenecommunities and one of my primary mentors through this journey in business and life. Matthew Currin is a speaker, trainer, life coach, founder of Convene Communities, retired Marine Corps Helicopter Pilot, former helicopter EMS Pilot, and current Team Penske NASCAR pilot.

Matt is genuinely passionate about helping others as much as he can, but he also knows he can't help as much as people need it alone. He collaborates on a massive level for the greater good. He has allowed me to be a primary on his incredible all-in-one platform, now known as Convene Connections Corporation. This benefit corporation enables non-profits to thrive and raise funds simultaneously.

Convene encompasses MatthewCurrin.com, ConveneCommunities.com, ConveneTraining.com, and the Convene Application. The platform also houses my real estate, health, and fitness businesses, as well as life and health coaching in my community, Jodi Watkins Life and Health Community. It is home to all things 2BEpic Fitness and Nutrition, LLC, and this podcast. Convene is where we continue the conversation for me, the host, my guests, and our listeners, who may want to connect more in one place.

Matt believes that "learning how to capitalize on our lessons learned helps others make better decisions in life. This is true in all aspects of life, including relationships, parenting, coaching a soccer team, and all aspects of a business."

I hope you enjoy the laughter in this episode as the trash guy enters my new office. I definitely am NOT used to having a trash person yet, so this was so funny as it was occurring! I could have edited it out, but why? LOL
