Summary::

Today’s episode is with one of the most charismatic people I know, and I’m excited that you’re here to listen in. Matty is Chef de Cuisine of the Q Roadhouse & Brewing Company in Jackson Hole, Wyoming, where he uses his extensive network of local farms, ranches, and creameries he’s formed relationships with to create an amazing menu.

I sat down with Matty to chat about how he continually stays motivated and driven, while also managing to seek out the best farmers and ranchers he can find. We discuss how he gets over criticism (looking at you, Yelp) and what makes for the best dining experience, night after night.

Even if you aren’t a chef, this episode will provide you with plenty of takeaways on how you can begin to infuse your particular passion into whatever line of work you do. Plus Matty gives us a delicious recipe near the end!
