## Resource

In this episode, I sit down with Matt, host of the Frequent Sees podcast, for an unplanned conversation that started before I even hit record. We dive into consciousness, simulation theory, and his painter metaphor for how reality works. We talk about neurodivergence, ego, flow states, and how the brain tunes into something larger than itself. Matt also opens up about getting sober in 2019, discovering his ADHD, and how all of it reshaped the way he sees the world. We wrap up with some personal stuff, his two kids, his divorce, and my own experience with my son.
