What happens when a singer-songwriter also works as a train engineer?In this episode of the Greg and Tim Show, we sit down with Matt Ivall — a singer-songwriter who lives a truly unique double life. By day, he’s a train engineer working across Canada. By night (and in between shifts), he’s writing songs, chasing creativity, and building a music career one story at a time.Matt opens up about how he writes his music, where his songs come from, and the moments that inspire him — including writing a song in just minutes and even naming one live in the studio. We also talk about how he met his partner Alyssa, how relationships fit into a demanding work schedule, and what it’s really like balancing passion with practicality.The conversation goes beyond music and railways. We get personal, ask some lighthearted questions, and dig into what it means to pursue something you love without walking away from responsibility. And of course, we wrap things up with our favourite game — This or That — where things get fun, fast, and unpredictable.If you’ve ever felt torn between a steady career and a creative dream, this episode will hit home.🎧 Listen, watch, and subscribe for more real conversations with interesting people and unexpected stories.🎧 Watch, listen, and get to know Matt Ivall beyond the music.Matt Ivall (All the Links)Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/artist/7efZfb7ErhF7nFJGXgWEcEInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/matt.ivallApple Music: https://music.apple.com/za/artist/matt-ivall/1607762789Amazon Music: https://www.amazon.com/music/player/artists/B09RK2GCG7/matt-ivallYouTube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCZkaJMaGzdZee3oUBhAGc1ASecond Song: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GnPhO_Zvrr4&list=OLAK5uy_k9XpmYFSy-2eZGMxOauR3HoO_NMKG4wUQThanks for spending time with us.If you enjoyed the conversation, make sure to subscribe, like, and share so you never miss an episode.

What happens when your identity is built on image… and then the image starts to fade?In this episode of The Greg and Tim Show, we sit down with Shaun Zimmer for a raw, funny, and surprisingly deep conversation about ego, pride, faith, freedom, and finding your identity in Christ. Shaun opens up about the moment hair loss exposed how much validation he was chasing, why he stepped away from shaping his appearance, and what it looked like to go from resisting church to following Jesus.We also talk about addiction, men’s vulnerability, hearing God’s guidance, staying grounded when criticism hits, and Shaun's off-grid “Ark on wheels” school bus journey—built to handle minus 40 and plus 40—while still living in a world he’s trying not to be owned by.If you’ve ever felt stuck between who you were and who you’re becoming… this one will hit.🎧 Watch/Listen to more episodes + blogs: gregandtimshow.ca👍 Like, Subscribe, Comment (sharing is caring… Tim’s words, not ours)Thanks for spending time with us.If you enjoyed the conversation, make sure to subscribe, like, and share so you never miss an episode.
