Welcome to Season 2: Episode 1 of People Are Everything, the weekly podcast where I ask my signature question, "Who are the five people who have shaped the person you are today?" And we're kicking off our second season with an absolute banger!
Today, I am talking with Matt Zeigler. I couldn't have picked a better person to kick off season 2 with, as he has taken PAE to a whole new level. Through the construct of a mix-tape (hence the "banger" reference above!) Matt takes us through the five key people who shaped him. Sadly, each of them is no longer with us, but they had a massive impact on him while they were alive. From his irrepressible grandad "pop pop" who taught him to live life to the max, his Grandma Jo, who taught Matt everything from Shakespeare to how to pour the perfect pint. Then there's Ray, his irreverent guitar teacher, who not only taught Matt how to play, he taught him how to love and live music. There's Shaun, who showed up just when Matt needed him and stayed for too short a while, and finally, we hear about a man who had the most significant impact of all.
There's props, great humour, human insight and above all else, wonderful storytelling. Matt is a fabulous guest, and I sincerely hope you take the time to listen to the full episode. To help you decide, here's a short extract to give you a flavour of our conversation...
Enjoy!
