Episode Synopsis
In this thought-provoking episode of Silent Service, Matt DiMauro and Will Diesel step into difficult conversations with openness, honesty, and faith at the center.

Along the way, Matt and Will bring in lessons from mentors, reflections on family, and timeless reminders like the Serenity Prayer to ground the conversation.If you have ever wondered how to engage politics and culture without losing compassion, or how to hold strong convictions while still listening with humility, this is an episode you will not want to miss.0:00 – Welcome & Opening Thoughts3:00 – MEPS Check-in and Life Updates6:00 – Faith Practices and Daily Reflections9:00 – Rules, Perception, and Self-Image12:00 – The Hidden “Taxes” of Parenthood15:00 – Is College a Scam?
