“CLYNK” your glass for Matt’s next steps

The Indisposable Podcast®

Raise your glasses to send a warm but bittersweet farewell to our beloved CEO and podcast host Matt Prindiville. In this episode, we talk about the rare opportunity that compelled him to leave Upstream so he could help build reuse infrastructure in the private sector. Join us to reminisce about some key moments and favorite aspects of Matt’s 12+ year history helping lead the Upstream team and the reuse movement.

*Correction: Matt mentions that CLYNK's technology is licensed in Oregon, which is not indeed the case. OBRC (see episode #122) has their own technology and systems that were independently developed. They've had no formal relationship with CLYNK since 2021, and their prior relationship was not a license but a software transition and coexistence agreement.
