166. Training for Life with Opscotch Founder & RBC GranFondo Runner Matt Christopherson
Matt Christopherson is the founder of Opscotch, a wellness platform revolutionizing personal health through biomarker testing and expert-driven insights. But his own journey of self-optimization hasn’t been limited to business.
As the only runner to ever complete the RBC GranFondo (125kms) from Vancouver to Whistler, Matt set out on an extraordinary journey, not just to test his endurance but to reclaim his sense of self – pushing his limits physically and personally during a transformative time in his life.

We grew up in a world we didn’t create. And one idea after the next—whether it was culture or society—we were told how to look, how to feel, and who to be. We were told that if we checked off the “right” boxes (think: career, car, money), we’d feel good, we’d be whole, and—naturally—we’d be set. But, turns out, there’s more to the story.
On The Great Unlearn, Cal dives into unlearning and questioning what the world taught us, and—in the process—how to be the truest version of yourself, minus the bullshit. Whether it’s figuring out how to navigate a relationship, dealing with your emotions, diving into spirituality, or just feeling comfortable in your own skin, Cal and friends navigate the choppy waters of what it really takes to unlearn all the ideas we took for granted, and how to be the best version of what, sometimes, can be so hard to be: yourself.
