Brian J. Matos
Born in Bayamon, Puerto Rico, raised in Chicago, Illinois, USA, and currently residing in Dallas, Texas, USA, Brian has a unique perspective on current global events and public policy. His Puerto Rican, Polish and American heritage allow him to see issues through several cultural prisms. His professional training in journalism, public relations and marketing along with a natural curiosity inspire his probing questions that reveal deep insights from his guests.
Brian believes in life long learning and started this podcast and blog to share the knowledge he is accumulating with a community of curious minds. Through in-depth conversations with preeminent thought leaders, authors, activists, community and business leaders, industry experts and academics, listeners get an “insiders” perspective about trends impacting our communities, families and individual lives.
