Matt Becker is Owner & CEO of Cement Cutting Inc., one of the top demolition contractors in California. More importantly, Matt is a true social athlete (and one of my best friends).
When I met Matt in 2014, he was one of the all-time San Diego party legends. He has now been sober for three years. Through it all, Matt has always magnetized great people and brought out the best in them.
In this episode, we discuss Matt's social life before and after sobriety, the benefits and tradeoffs of sober socializing, and the importance of living with integrity. Then Matt explains how intentionally blurring the lines between his personal and professional lives makes both better.
This episode is not just a conversation; it's a masterclass in becoming a social athlete. I hope you get as much out of it as I did.
