Summary
Former baseball player, police officer, and Playin Thru host Matt Stone joins The Giving Game for a powerful conversation about mental health, vulnerability, and why so many men suffer in silence. Having spent years in both baseball and law enforcement, Matt has seen firsthand that some of the strongest people on the outside are often fighting battles nobody else can see. Together, we discuss the challenges of accessing mental health resources, the stigma surrounding asking for help, and why changing the conversation could save lives. This episode isn’t about sports—it’s about the people behind the uniforms and the importance of reminding others that they don’t have to face life’s toughest moments alone.
