“I don’t chase happiness; I choose what’s worth struggling for.”
 - Matt Poyner 

Many of us may find ourselves occasionally putting off important things in life because we are "too busy."  Matt Poyner is a backcountry outdoorsman, dad, artist, carpenter, ER doctor, graphic designer, husband, and brewer, among other things (and not necessarily in that order.)  You could say he leads a busy life, but he might call it a life of fulfillment.

In our discussion, we have a few laughs and dig into:

• What makes being an emergency room doctor the perfect vocation for a person of varied interests.
• How physical struggle and exertion has contributed to human evolution
• His philosophy on parenting
• Matt’s four elements of a fulfilled life.
