JCIP #63 - My Mate Matt

In our final Just Checking In Pod before Christmas, we wanted to do something a little different. Grief is something all of us have felt more aware of or affected by this year, given the pandemic we have been living through. In this episode, our Founder Freddie Cocker speaks about a close friend and former work colleague, Matt, who he lost to a Sudden Cardiac Death in 2017. Matt's passing affected everyone in the company he worked for. Freddie talks about the impact that losing Matt had on him. You'll also hear from several other former colleagues who open up about the person Matt was and their favourite memories of him. This is the story of 'My Mate Matt'.
