Episode show notes:

Our guest on this episode is Matt Boudreau. Matt is an Audio Engineer, Mixer and Producer, based in the San Francisco Bay Area, California.

His credits list includes bands and artists such as Green Day, Alanis Morrisette, Deafhaven or Death Cab For Cutie. 

He's also the host of a fantastic podcast, called Working Class Audio. 

I (Benedikt) have been a guest on his show just a couple of weeks ago and it was a dream come true for me. I've learned an incredible amount from Matt and his guests over the years and highly recommend you check out Working Class Audio if you don't already know it.

Now we are super excited that we got to pick Matt's Brian for a bit here and can't wait for you to dive in, as well!

Some of the topics we covered on the episode:

• What's top of mind for Matt right now?

• Planning for the future
• Becoming a better person every day
• Lifelong learning

• Mental health, taking care of yourself and having your shit together. Both inside and outside of the studio.
