In this episode, Matt visits one of the top high school wrestling programs in the country at Wyoming Seminary in Kingston, Pennsylvania. He sits down with team captains Brian Chamberlin and Lucas Parietti to talk about the natural high that comes from intense training, competition, and being part of an elite program.

Matt even tries to capture the sound of practice—but the action is a little too much for the microphones to handle. Fortunately, he does manage to record part of Coach Weber’s powerful pre-workout speech, giving listeners a glimpse into the mindset that fuels the team.

Matt also shares stories from recent visits to local schools, a cold-water surfing trip to the Jersey Shore, the misery and delight of poison ivy and some thoughtful feedback from a listener.

From wrestling mats to ocean waves, this episode explores the many ways people find a better high through challenge, discipline, and connection. Enjoy! To jump directly to the interview, go to 8:37.
