From growing up in a small city in Australia where he suffered from a learning disability that only fed his already introverted nature, Matthew was laid off from his first job weeks before a major holiday and then took the only job that was available to him-door to door sales! After a week of getting doors slammed in his face, he developed a system that started working for him while also being comfortable to sustain as an introvert. As Matthew says: "I like to say that our failures seed the success of our future. I think it works the same way for introverts. Because we don't have the same natural abilities as extroverts, we have to make up for it in other ways ... but that extra effort actually gives us an edge over others."
