Drew Robertson: Sustainable Living With Wolf Dogs | COS Business Podcast #186 - a podcast by Andrew Hazzlee

In this episode, we are joined by Drew Robertson, the founder of Mattersville, a nonprofit organization that provides sustainable housing for American veterans who are struggling with PTSD, homelessness, or addiction. Drew shares his personal journey of military service and how it led him to start Mattersville, which is located in Colorado and has a mission to help veterans get back on their feet.  Drew explains how Mattersville operates as a tiny community, where the veterans live in small, energy-efficient homes and have access to communal resources such as a garden, workshop, and community center. He describes how this type of living arrangement promotes a sense of community and helps veterans overcome the isolation and loneliness that often accompanies PTSD.  Drew also discusses the challenges and rewards of running a nonprofit organization, including the importance of building partnerships with other organizations and individuals who share Mattersville's mission. He shares inspiring stories of how Mattersville has helped veterans turn their lives around and find a sense of purpose and meaning.  Throughout the episode, Drew emphasizes the importance of sustainable living and how Mattersville is committed to reducing its carbon footprint and promoting environmentally conscious practices. He encourages listeners to consider the impact of their own lifestyle choices and how small changes can make a big difference in creating a more sustainable future.  This episode is a must-listen for anyone interested in sustainable living, veteran's issues, and the power of community to promote healing and growth. Join us as we learn from Drew Robertson and the inspiring work of Mattersville.
