Catastrophic events, such as a diagnosis of grade-three astrocytoma, can not be directly accounted for. However, their impact can be mitigated with ample planning and a positive attitude. Newman’s financial planning experience and relentless determination helped him take ownership of his life as a cancer survivor. He leads sales teams, financial advisors, and organizations through his philosophy of risk management and motivation; emphasizing sales and referrals by making deeper connections with clients. 

Author of Starting at the Finish Line: My Cancer Partner, Perspective and Preparation, Matthew S. Newman has refined his ideas through his latest creative outlet; writing. After his diagnosis, he gained imperative existential insight, knowing that he had to live in the moment and appreciate every second before he goes. That realization inspired him to begin writing, as well as make a stronger connection with his family. 

Through his keynote speeches, he reinforces that organizations create new prospects with realness and purity in interpersonal connections. At his appearances, he signs his books with, “we are a family of warriors.” Even when unable to orate in-person, Newman creates an equal passion with his audience in his virtual keynote speeches.
