All right, everybody. Welcome back to another edition of the Untitled Jeff Luck podcast.

0:26.3

I'm your host Jeff Luck, and today it is a very special edition of the Driven Life series,

0:32.3

where this year I've been talking to people about motivational or self-improvement stories or habits that

0:39.5

can help you out. Today, I am speaking with a NASCAR fan named Matthew Todd. I've never met

0:47.2

Matthew. I've only communicated with him on Twitter. But I think Matthew's story and experience is

0:52.7

something that you're going to want to hear and you will find valuable.

0:57.1

One year ago this week, Matthew suffered a traumatic brain injury, which I will let him tell the details of.

1:04.2

And as he recovered, NASCAR was something that helped him bring back some of his memories, which he was struggling with.

1:12.3

In fact, I first heard from Matthew when he was following some of my tweets on Twitter and had no

1:54.5

story to contact him, and he said he'd even hop on the phone with people. I'll explain more

1:59.3

of that later, but for now, let's just start

2:01.9

and get right into our interview and hear Matthew's story. Okay, we've got Matthew Todd on the line now.

2:09.5

Matthew, how are you doing? I'm doing well, Jeff, and it's a privilege to speak with you. I'm very

2:17.8

And I have enjoyed our exchanges on Twitter.
