Passion - The Life and Career of Host and Podcast Producer, Matt Richards

Don't Talk To Me About Work

This week, host and podcast producer Matt Richards joins Jordan Rizzieri to talk about his life and career.
Matt shares that he moved around a lot when he was young (2:23) and that the UK school system didn't hold his attention for long (5:20). He left school and got into retail (7:39) until someone's backhanded compliment lit a fire under him to try presenting (12:49).
When it comes to long-term goals, Matt calls himself "the most ambitious, un-ambitious person (19:30) even though he does have some dreams about what he hopes his future holds (22:22).
Jordan asks him to explain his current project, the Football Manager Therapy podcast (24:03) and the ethos him and his co-host have about discussing football (31:33). This leads Jordan to viewing Matt's story like a three-pronged Recycle symbol of not caring, caring a little , and then caring a lot (34:25). Matt also considers the curse of doing a job you love (37:53) before imparting his final wisdom to the listener (41:46)
