ETT with Matt Colbert - Environmental Engineering, Dealing with Loss, The Immensity of Nature, Constant Learning

Published: Aug. 5, 2020, 2:43 p.m.

On this week's episode I chat with an old time friend of mine, Matt Colbert. We met years ago over a game of basketball and have been friends ever since. It's wild to think about just how far we've come since then and what we've learned. Matt studied Environmental Engineering at Gannon University and is currently pursuing a career in the same field. Matt was never someone who thought terribly much about the future so he was lucky to find a major that fit his skill set so he could find a career he's passionate about. We discuss some of those major moments in Matt's life that created the person he is today. Unfortunately, we all deal with loss, it's inevitable, so we talk about how he overcame it and was able to learn and grow from those experiences. We also talk about the environment and just how incredible nature is. There's just something about going out into the woods, or the middle of the ocean, or National Parks, and just taking it all in. It can really open your eyes and make you feel some type of way. Matt's biggest hobby is constant learning. He's a major bookworm and avid podcast listener. If you ask me, learning is one of the best hobbies a person can have. There's so much out there to discover!
