Check out our season one teaser to hear the fantastic guests we will have on!
Matthew
He's an average guy living his best small-town life. After a career in corporate America, Matthew transitioned to The Village Network to help people understand mental health needs and stop the stigma. He uses humor to mask emotions but is unafraid to confront his feelings. Matthew and his husband, Johnathan, are proud parents to a pug named Nikki. They love to garden, and Nikki enjoys standing on the flowers.
Lynette
She has four jobs, three volunteer positions, two rescue dogs, one kid, and zero awareness of time. Much like her Labrador Retrievers, she's just happy to be here! She is originally from the best state in the union (Michigan, obviously) but moved to Ohio for college and stayed for love. She adores her family, musical theater, and long morning workouts. She's having a blast on The Village Network team and can't wait for more opportunities to learn about mental health!
Clint
He is an audio professional hailing from Wayne County, Ohio. He’s never lived anywhere else but loves to travel and see the world, especially if there’s food involved. He has a wonderful family and will eventually have a dog again. He’s eternally curious, loves cooking, and is (probably) annoyingly serious about coffee. He loves learning about audio, live production, business, and now…neuropsychology.
