You may have heard Matthews's story. A criminal steals a safe containing evidence of sexual violence against children, and has to confront a moral dilemma. Does he admit to stealing the safe and go to prison, so a violent offender faces justice and can’t hurt more children, or does he ignore what he’s just seen so he can be a free man?

Matthew and I have become good friends, and have talked about this story many times since the recording of the episode. He almost hates it because it’s a life-defining moment that doesn’t define who he is today. It’s a story that has transcended all the humans involved, and become archetypal mythology. A story of good vs. evil, and a story of the redemption of a broken man.

Whatever you think of the story, Matthew Hahn has been many things in his lifetime. A career criminal and drug addict, a selfless man of courage, a convict, a devout Buddhist, a recovered drug addict, and a loving husband and friend. His story contains almost everything I want to share with the world. His friendship is one of the great rewards of getting to do this work.
