In Episode 143 of The Chris and Mike Show, Chris and Mike sit down with Matthew Burton to explore an inspiring life story that ties together service, community, and resilience. From his early days in the culinary arts to serving as a combat medic in the military, Matthew’s journey has been defined by dedication and perseverance. Today, he channels that same drive into ultra-running and financial advising, using his experiences to uplift others.
The conversation highlights Matthew’s commitment to organizing charity runs like the Scarface Mountain Trail Run and the Saguaro Showdown Ultra, both of which raise awareness and funding for causes like Foster 360, a nonprofit supporting youth aging out of the foster care system. He opens up about the mental health challenges faced in high-stress careers, the healing power of running, and his ambitious goal to complete a 100-mile run to fuel fundraising efforts.
This episode is a blend of personal reflection and community advocacy, showing how one individual’s path from kitchens to combat zones to financial planning can inspire hope and create real change. Whether you’re passionate about running, supporting foster youth, or stories of resilience, Matthew’s journey is one you won’t want to miss.
