Welcome to the Mutual Victory Podcast Site
We are Matt and Jeannie O'Neill former teachers who share a love of pop-culture, music, European Board Games, trivia, family and LOVE, and we will cover topics that are current in our lives and fun tidbits on this journey of marriage.
Matt was a Social Studies teacher who now is a Librarian.
Jeannie also used to teach in a more traditional setting and now teaches Yoga and trains people to follow their passion as yoga teachers. They both work (from home, together) at Yoga Farm Ithaca an online teaching platform and nonprofit.
Mutual Victory is their Motto and Mantra, it steers their RelationShip!
