With Gratitude, Matt
Gratitude—the profound sense of thankfulness—often emerges from recognizing the blessings, privileges, or serendipities life bestows. While a diagnosis like cancer is rarely seen as a cause for gratitude, Matt Moran felt otherwise. His battle with kidney cancer inspired him to launch this podcast in 2020, a platform where life lessons, faith, and resilience shine through adversity. Every episode shares stories of hope and determination, revealing how gratitude can guide us through life’s toughest challenges. Following Matt’s passing in 2023, his older brother, Bill, stepped in to continue the mission, ensuring the podcast remains a beacon of inspiration. Together, the Moran brothers’ legacy encourages us all to embrace life’s journey with faith, hope, and a grateful heart.

It could result in moodiness or a loss of meaning and purpose or it might be diagnosed as anxiety. Mental health struggles are common and we all need to be aware of how to best manage the challenge. Our guest Mike Dayem says, “it is not something to shun, silence, or ‘cure’; but something to respect, listen to, and understand.” Our awareness and knowledge of mental health is better today because of the courage of people like Mike Dayem who are sharing their story to help others navigate their path and better understand their minds so their purpose is never lost again.
