Welcome to The GRYND - the podcast where hard work, grit, and the why behind it all collide.

This is our first “meet the guys” episode, and we’re kicking it off with Matt — the dude who helped turn this whole thing from late-night talk into reality. He’s the idea guy, the hype man, and the one who pushed to make The GRYND happen.

Matt’s a detective on a regional drug task force in Southwest Missouri, a passionate hunter who lives for the outdoors, and just over a year into his Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu journey. He’s grinding on every front — in life, in his career, and in his hobbies — and chasing the why that keeps him going.

In this episode, we cover it all: who we are, why we started The GRYND, and what it means to take on the hard things and own the process.
