Welcome to the⁠⁠⁠⁠ @Hope2Hustle ⁠⁠podcast! I'm your host Cheree Ashley and I converse with others to share stories of Uncut Gems. In this episode, I sit down with the inspiring and determined "Mohawk" Matt Cammarano. Matt will celebrate six years clean and sober on May 18. Matt grew up in the San Fernando Valley in a middle-class family. He thrived in sports, most notably baseball.

He started doing graffiti which turned into a gang. Trouble followed and he joined the US NAVY to get away from trouble.

When Matt returned home from the Navy he returned to old ways and went to prison for a long stent. Addiction had taken over his life.
