Summary: <p><strong>Today's episode is a tough one. </strong>Over the weekend, someone very special to me died suddenly and tragically in a hit and run accident. His name was Mat George. He was the co-host of She Rates Dogs: The Podcast, which I executive produce. He was also a friend and one of the most special, talented, hilarious and kind human beings I’ve ever had the pleasure of working with and producing. Today I share a little about him and about how I am processing the loss and shock. I go through the interesting effect that tragedy can have on your perspective and how it is profoundly altering mine. Ultimately, this episode is about paying tribute to a person who was universally loved and who I adored. It's profoundly rare to meet someone as pure of heart as him ever...Let alone in entertainment. I feel blessed to have known him and his light will be deeply missed. Love you, Mat.</p> <p><br></p> <p><strong>Links:</strong></p> <ul> <li>Donate to Operation Breakthrough in memory of Mat George: <a href="https://operationbreakthrough.org/how-you-can-help/financial-support">https://operationbreakthrough.org/how-you-can-help/financial-support</a> </li> </ul> <p><br></p> <ul> <li>To buy a ticket to my music show this Wednesday, 07/21 at 7:30pm: <a href="https://shows.fanflex.com/campaigns/lauren-lograsso-live-at-urban-press-winery">https://shows.fanflex.com/campaigns/lauren-lograsso-live-at-urban-press-winery </a>- <strong>100% of ticket sales will be donated to Operation Breakthrough in Mat's name</strong> </li> </ul> <p><br></p> <ul> <li>Read the<em> New York Times</em> article that was written about Mat after his passing: <a href="https://www.nytimes.com/2021/07/18/arts/mat-george-dead-hit-and-run-death.html"><strong>https://www.nytimes.com/2021/07/18/arts/mat-george-dead-hit-and-run-death.html</strong></a> </li> </ul> --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/unleashyourinnercreative/message
