This approach is unique as it involves infusing each piece with a hidden message, inviting you, the reader, to delve deeper into the underlying principles that transform adversity into valuable life assets.

Biography

Matthew Lawrence Scigousky was born in the suburbs of Chicago and began life facing significant adversity. At six months old, doctors placed both of his legs in casts after misdiagnosing him with multiple sclerosis. The actual cause was a spinal tumor. Before the age of ten, Matthew underwent multiple surgeries on his spine and left leg—procedures that ultimately left him with a permanently deformed leg.

At a young age, Matthew made a defining choice: “You can do whatever you set your mind to, no matter the circumstances.” That belief became deeply rooted in him and has only grown stronger over the years.

In middle school, Matthew became a competitive ski racer. He later learned to adapt and compete in other sports, including wrestling in high school and track in college. After earning a degree in business from DePaul University, he began a career in medical device sales. He became the youngest sales representative ever hired by Stryker Medical and earned both Rookie of the Year and Sales Representative of the Year honors within his first two years.

Over the course of a 30-year career, Matthew worked with companies including Stryker Medical, Merit Medical, and Haemonetics. His accomplishments include four Sales Representative of the Year awards, 13 President’s Club honors, and numerous additional sales-achievement awards.

During the COVID-19 pandemic, Matthew turned his attention to inspirational writing, exploring how adversity can reveal hidden strengths and become fuel for personal growth.

He is the bestselling, award-winning author of the Unlocking Your Greatest Assets trilogy and the An Empowering Perspective series. With seven books and five audiobooks published, Matthew also teaches practical mindset tools through his course, The Mindset Game.

Drawing on his own experience overcoming early-life adversity, Matthew helps readers transform struggle into creativity, resilience, and intentional living. His mission is to empower people to create the life they want—no matter where they begin.

"There is nothing more powerful than a changed mind. Everything begins with a thought—learn to harness that power and create the reality you desire, regardless of circumstances. My purpose in life is to show you how.”
